Fire Escape Welding NYC
- Certified Welding
- Structural Repairs
- DOB & Local Law 11 Compliance
In New York City, a fire escape isn’t just a feature — it’s a lifeline. To keep tenants safe and avoid DOB violations, your fire escape must remain strong, rust-free, and code-compliant at all times.
At ABC Fire Escape Painting, we provide comprehensive fire escape maintenance services across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island. From routine inspections and rust removal to welding repairs and repainting, we ensure your fire escape remains safe, secure, and DOB-approved.
Why Fire Escape Welding Is Essential in NYC
NYC’s steel fire escapes face extreme wear and tear due to:
- Snow, ice & freezing temperatures — cause metal expansion and cracking
- Rain & humidity — accelerate rust and corrosion
- Pollution & salt exposure — weaken steel over time
- Heavy foot traffic during emergencies — stresses joints and bolts
Without proper welding and reinforcement, your fire escape may:
- ❌ Fail DOB inspections
- ❌ Develop loose or broken steps
- ❌ Become unsafe for tenants
- ❌ Lead to Local Law 11 violations and costly fines
Our certified welding services ensure your fire escape passes inspections and remains safe and compliant.
