Under NYC Fire Code, who must be notified FIRST when a sprinkler system is going to be impaired for maintenance?
Answer: The FDNY and the building's central station monitoring company
FDNY must be notified of sprinkler system impairments, and the building's central station alarm monitoring company must be informed so they can properly handle any signals received during the impairment.
How much advance notice must be given to FDNY before a planned sprinkler system impairment in New York City?
Answer: As soon as possible and no less than required by FDNY rules — typically before the impairment begins
FDNY requires notification as early as possible before a planned impairment. FDNY rules and the building's fire alarm monitoring company require pre-notification before work begins so appropriate measures can be coordinated.
What information must be included in an impairment notification to the fire alarm monitoring company?
Answer: Building address, account number, system(s) affected, area/floors affected, reason for impairment, estimated duration, and name of responsible contact
A complete impairment notification includes the building address, account number, affected system and areas, reason for the impairment, estimated duration, and a responsible contact name — so the monitoring company can properly handle the account.
If a sprinkler system impairment lasts longer than expected, what must the impairment coordinator do?
Answer: Provide updated notification to FDNY and the monitoring company with the revised estimated restoration time
When an impairment extends beyond the original estimated time, the impairment coordinator must notify FDNY and the monitoring company with updated information about the revised restoration timeline.
When must the impairment notification be closed out with the fire alarm monitoring company?
Answer: After the system has been fully restored to service and tested successfully
The impairment notification must be closed out with the monitoring company only after the system has been fully restored and tested. This returns the account to normal monitoring status.
Who is responsible for coordinating all notifications related to a sprinkler system impairment?
Answer: The impairment coordinator designated by the building owner
The impairment coordinator, designated by the building owner, is responsible for coordinating all notifications to FDNY, the monitoring company, tenants, and other stakeholders during a sprinkler impairment.
