Fire Safety & FDNY Compliance in Manhattan

Manhattan's high-rise buildings and commercial properties require rigorous fire safety monitoring. D.O.B. Guard tracks critical fire safety compliance through multiple enforcement sources:

🔥
Fire Alarm System Violations — Defective or non-compliant fire alarm systems in residential and commercial buildings
🔥
Sprinkler System Deficiencies — Inoperative or improperly maintained automatic sprinkler systems
🔥
Standpipe & Fire Suppression Equipment — Building fire suppression system compliance issues
🔥
Emergency Egress Violations — Fire escape, exit sign, and emergency lighting compliance
🔥

Note: Fire safety violations are monitored through DOB Safety Violations (device-specific violations) and building permit activity for fire safety system work. While we don't have direct access to FDNY's internal systems, we comprehensively track all fire safety enforcement reported through NYC DOB databases.
