Fire Extinguisher Inspection and Repair Services in NYC

Under the Rules of the City of New York (3RCNY 15-02) and NFPA 10, annual fire extinguisher inspections are required for all commercial buildings. The FDNY can request inspection records at any time, and discrepancies in paperwork can result in fines ranging from $600 to $1,000.

FDNY regulations go beyond simply having extinguishers available. They also govern the number of extinguishers required in a building, the type of extinguisher needed based on occupancy, and the proper placement and distance between each unit. Upon completion of every inspection, results must be noted on each fire extinguisher inspection tag and kept on file for FDNY review.

Monthly fire extinguisher inspection is also required, which building staff may perform themselves as a visual check. All inspection records must be kept on file for a minimum of three years and available upon FDNY request at any time.

Building owners are legally responsible for ensuring all portable fire extinguishers meet NFPA 10 requirements. The FDNY must be able to access inspection and maintenance records at any time, with details kept on file for at least three years. Failing to maintain your extinguishers can result in violations, fines, or complete equipment failure during a real emergency.
