Revision to the Fire Safety Manual
March 28, 2023
- The revised manual provides additional guidance and explanation of the requirements for reporting and explains the process of obtaining temporary Occupancy Certificates. Until the next version of the Building Code is adopted, the code being enforced is the 2020 New York State Building Code based on the 2018 International Building Code.
- This reflects NYSED's clarifying conversation with the NYS Department of State, which promulgates the Fire Code. As a result of this conversation, monthly fire drills are no longer required.
- If you have any questions, or encounter any difficulties, our office is available to assist you as always. Please send an e-mail to firesafety@nysed.gov.
