Project Categories: Building Systems Installation & Modifications: Sprinkler
The New York City Building Code requires the installation of automatic sprinklers be based on several factors, such as the height and size of the building, occupancy classifications, fire areas, occupant loads, the layout of partitions, fire-rated construction, and the contents or hazards present in the building. In general, Building Code Chapter 9 and Building Code Appendix Q, which amends references to various National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, governs the sprinkler system application, installation, and design.
Sprinkler work, which is part of the fire protection system of a building, is the new installation, maintenance, tenant fit out, modification, extension or alteration of the building sprinkler system.
