Why You Need a Professional Fire Escape Installation in NYC?
New York City has some of the strictest fire safety regulations in the U.S. Installing a fire escape isn’t just about bolting steel to a wall — it requires engineering precision, DOB approval, and safety certification.
Without a properly installed fire escape, you risk:
❌ DOB violations and expensive fines
❌ Failed inspections under Local Law 11
❌ Tenant safety hazards
❌ Insurance claim denials
That’s why working with a licensed, insured, and DOB-compliant contractor like ABC Fire Escape Painting is critical.
