Commercial Fire Sprinkler Inspection in New York City
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard # 25 for the inspection, testing and maintenance of a fire sprinkler system was adopted by New York City in 2012. The requirements of NFPA 25 apply to all city buildings that are sprinklered, including many that were previously exempt and now must comply.

FDNY Enforcement of Fire Sprinkler Regulations in New York City:
All sprinklered facilities throughout NYC, whether it be commercial or residential, are required to have the inspection regimen of NFPA 25 performed by a licensed Master Fire sprinkler contractor and holder of an FDNY Certificate of Fitness. These inspections and tests are mandatory, and violations are regularly issued.
NFPA 25 is designed to standardize, clarify and enhance the types and frequency of required fire sprinkler inspections. Various categories of inspections and maintenance must be performed at regular intervals ranging from weekly visual checks to monthly, quarterly and a thorough annual Internal Obstruction Inspection every 5 years.

What To Expect When You Hire Us To Perform NFPA25 Inspections:
We’re here to help you understand and fully comply with all FDNY inspection requirements. There are four basic levels ofNFPA25 inspections. (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually). Each frequency of inspection has different requirements, but all are mandatory according to NFPA 25, and accurate records of all inspections are required:
Weekly Inspections:
NFPA 25 has numerous points for weekly visual inspection. It expects building occupants or owners to perform these weekly inspections. This may also require a weekly fire pump churn test, if applicable. You can perform the weekly visual inspections yourself, or we can perform them for you. Maintaining records of these inspections can significantly help you if you receive a violation. We maintain all records of every fire sprinkler inspection in NYC and the surrounding areas, and can provide both hard copies and digital records upon request by the FDNY.
Monthly Inspections:
Monthly inspections standardized by NFPA 25 are more in depth than the weekly regimen and we maintain all records of these on file to comply with FDNY requirements. In addition to the weekly inspection regimen, the monthly inspection includes, but is not limited to the visual inspection of the following components:
Inspection of all control valves only equipped with locks and/or supervised tamper switches.
Inspection of all gauges (wet, dry, pre-action, deluge systems) Inspection of all alarm valves.
Inspection of all dry pipe valves and their heated enclosures.
Inspection of spare sprinkler heads and spare wrench Inspection of fire department connections.
Inspection of the backflow device.
Inspection of the booster pump and jockey pump.
Quarterly Testing and Inspections:
Quarterly tests and inspections standardized by NFPA 25 include the monthly visual inspection(s) identified above as well as a much more detailed visual and hands-on testing regimen. The quarterly fire sprinkler inspection also includes confirming adequate pressure readings and testing water flow and tamper switches. Post indicating valves and priming levels must also be tested and drain tests for backflow devices need to be performed. The fire sprinkler riser will also be inspected to ensure that the hydraulic nameplate, if applicable, is attached and legible.
Annual Testing and Inspections:
Annual tests and inspections standardized by NFPA 25 include the monthly and quarterly regiment identified above but has a few additional requirements. All components of the system(s) are visually inspected, potential obstructions are identified, and an assessment is made to determine if the requirements of the system have changed. Each sprinkler control valve is tested, pumps are operated and water flow is measured. Every 5th year, an Internal Obstruction Assessment is to be performed during the annual test.
