Part 3: Healthcare Facilities

Stay up to date on the latest code changes to healthcare spaces.

The new NYC Construction Code went into effect on Nov. 7, 2022 and it included over 600 significant changes that aim to improve building safety and enhance sustainability.

Here at Milrose,  our team of Code and Zoning Analysts published an 8-part guide series to help navigate design professionals, developers, contractors, and owners through the major code changes that will impact their projects.

In Part 1: Commercial Interiors, we covered the code changes to elevator systems as well as occupied rooftops and terraces. In Part 2: Residential Amenity Spaces guide, we provide an overview of the major code changes and clarifications for Group R-2 Amenity Spaces. 

Now, in Part 3: Healthcare Facilities, we break down the major code changes that have impacted healthcare spaces, including: 

• Additional Fire Protection Requirements for Ambulatory Care Facilities
• Flood Zone Construction Requirement in Shaded-X Flood Care Zones
• Openings Permitted onto Corridors in 1-2 Nursing Homes and Care Suites
