FDNY Regulations

The FDNY has strict requirements about who can inspect, test, install, and repair fire sprinkler systems and portable fire extinguishers.

The FDNY has strict requirements for who can install, inspect, and repair fire sprinkler systems in NYC. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 25) standard, every system must be inspected regularly by a licensed Master Fire Sprinkler Contractor.

Required inspections include:

Weekly: Basic visual inspection
Monthly: Visual inspection and partial testing
Quarterly: Visual inspection with additional testing
Annual: Full inspection and complete fire sprinkler test

During these inspections, pumps and powered devices may need to be run. If any issues are identified, they must be corrected immediately to avoid an FDNY violation.

Common Causes of Fire Sprinkler System Failure

While sprinkler systems naturally deteriorate over time, most malfunctions are caused by accidents or external damage, such as:

Frozen pipes from cold weather and inadequate heating
Forklifts or equipment striking sprinkler components
Items stacked too high, hitting sprinkler heads
Vandalism or intentional tampering

If you notice any of these issues, contact us right away for emergency fire sprinkler repair in NYC.
