Fire Code Services
Fire compliance ensures that life-safety systems, including alarm systems, suppression systems, and emergency plans, meet NYC FDNY regulations, covering everything from fire alarm control panels and initiating devices to suppression systems and emergency action plans. These services verify that systems are designed, installed, and maintained according to code, protecting both building operations and project timelines while avoiding costly fines or delays. For New Building (NB) and Alteration Type 1 projects, the base building fire alarm system Letter of Approval (LOA) is required to obtain a Temporary or Final Certificate of Occupancy.
Milrose provides end-to-end fire services, including fire alarm application code consulting, pre-filing plan review, filing and submission services, project authorization letters (permits required by FDNY prior to inspection), FDNY inspection scheduling, fire alarm pre-testing, FDNY inspection attendance, emergency plan development, TCO affidavits, and obtaining Letters of Approval. We coordinate with contractors, licensed engineers, and FDNY officials, track inspections, oversee documentation, secure approvals, and manage resubmissions to keep systems functioning correctly and approvals on schedule.
