Why Fire Escape Repair Is Essential in NYC
Fire escapes in New York City face constant exposure to harsh weather, salt, and pollution, which leads to:
- Rust & corrosion
- Loose bolts & unstable joints
- Cracked welds & broken steps
- Weak platforms & structural deterioration
Ignoring these issues can cause:
- ❌ Failed DOB & Local Law 11 inspections
- ❌ Fines and violations
- ❌ Safety hazards for tenants
- ❌ Costly emergency repairs
Pro Tip: The NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) requires fire escapes to be maintained in safe condition at all times. If your fire escape shows signs of wear, it must be repaired immediately to avoid violations.
