Question 1

What type of door hardware is required on exit doors in places of assembly to allow emergency egress?

Accepted Answer

Panic hardware (push bar) or fire exit hardware

Answer

Panic hardware or fire exit hardware allows exit doors to be opened with a single pushing motion, enabling rapid egress without requiring prior knowledge of locking mechanisms.

Question 2

How many exits are typically required for an assembly space with an occupant load between 501 and 1,000 persons?

Accepted Answer

3

Answer

The NYC Building Code requires a minimum of 3 exits for assembly occupancies with an occupant load between 501 and 1,000 persons.

Question 3

Which situation would require a fireguard to immediately stop an assembly event?

Accepted Answer

A required exit is blocked and cannot be immediately cleared

Answer

A required exit that is blocked and cannot be immediately cleared reduces the egress capacity below the minimum required for the occupant load, mandating an event stop.

Question 4

Under NYC regulations, exit signs must generally be visible from what maximum distance?

Accepted Answer

100 feet

Answer

Exit signs must be legible from at least 100 feet away to ensure occupants can locate them from anywhere within the assembly space.

Question 5

What must be maintained clear at all times in aisles and passageways leading to exits during an assembly?

Accepted Answer

The full unobstructed width required for the occupant load

Answer

Aisles must maintain their full required unobstructed width throughout any assembly event to ensure the egress capacity they provide is not reduced.
