NYC FDNY Violations Monitoring

Professional Fire Department (FDNY) violation monitoring service for NYC properties. Get instant alerts for fire code violations, egress obstructions, and fire safety compliance issues.

This page covers our automated FDNY monitoring and alert service. If you're looking for a full explanation of FDNY violation types, penalties, and how to resolve one, see our Complete FDNY Violations Guide.

What Are FDNY Violations?

NYC Fire Department (FDNY) violations are issued when a building fails to comply with the NYC Fire Code — covering fire protection systems, means of egress, hazardous materials storage, and fire safety equipment.

Unresolved FDNY violations can escalate to daily fines, Vacate Orders, or a Full Vacate for the most severe life-safety hazards, making early detection critical for building owners and managers.

⚠️ Important:

FDNY violations are issued separately from DOB violations and must be corrected and certified through FDNY's own process, even if the underlying condition also triggers a DOB notice.
