Fire Sprinklers Inspection in Queens

The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard # 25 for inspections, testing and maintenance of a fire sprinkler system was adopted by New York City in 2012. The requirements of NFPA 25 are relevant to all city buildings that are sprinklered, including plenty that were previously exempt and now must comply. Contact us today for a free fire inspection quote in Queens so the appropriate paperwork and contracts can be established and the FDNY’s requirements satisfied.

All sprinklered facilities throughout Queens, 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.

We’re here to help you understand and fully comply with all FDNY inspection requirements. There are four basic levels of NFPA25 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:

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.

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.
