Is your fire escape showing rust, peeling paint, or corrosion?
At ABC Fire Escape Painting, we provide professional fire escape painting services in NYC to keep your property safe, compliant, and inspection-ready. Our OSHA-certified painters specialize in rust removal, corrosion protection, and DOB-approved painting techniques to ensure your fire escape meets NYC Department of Buildings and Local Law 11 requirements.
We proudly serve all five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island — helping property owners, landlords, and building managers restore and protect fire escapes across NYC.
Why Fire Escape Painting Is Essential in NYC
Fire escapes are constantly exposed to NYC’s extreme weather, air pollution, and salt damage. Without proper maintenance, they quickly deteriorate, creating safety hazards and DOB compliance issues.
Common Causes of Fire Escape Damage
- Rain & Humidity → Speeds up rust and corrosion
- Freezing Winters → Cracks paint and weakens welds
- Air Pollution & Salt → Eats away protective coatings
- UV Exposure → Causes fading, chipping, and surface deterioration
According to the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) and Local Law 11, property owners must ensure fire escapes are safe, functional, and structurally sound at all times. Failing to maintain yours can lead to:
❌ Failed DOB & Local Law 11 inspections
❌ Costly emergency repairs
❌ Safety hazards for tenants
❌ City fines and violations
💡 Pro Tip: NYC’s DOB requires all fire escapes to remain structurally sound and well-painted at all times. A neglected fire escape can fail inspection and even result in partial building shutdowns.
