ECB Violation NYC: Fire Sprinkler Correction
What Is an ECB Violation in NYC?
When the FDNY or Department of Buildings identifies a fire sprinkler system issue, they may issue an ECB violation in addition to or instead of a standard Notice of Violation. ECB violations carry significant fines and, if left unresolved, can result in a default judgment against the property owner.
Common fire sprinkler-related ECB violations include failure to maintain a compliant fire sprinkler system, failure to complete required NFPA 25 inspections, failure to produce valid permits and inspection records, and failure to correct previously cited deficiencies.
