Fire Safety Notices (Pack of 5)

Ensure your building meets NYC Fire Code requirements with compliant Fire Safety Notices. These signs provide critical emergency instructions to occupants and are required in residential and certain commercial buildings. Proper placement and visibility help improve safety, support FDNY compliance, and ensure occupants know what to do in case of fire. 

Dimensions: 6" x 9"

Materials: Printed Adhesive Vinyl; Gloss or Matte Laminate

What This Sign is For: Fire Safety Notices provide clear, life-saving instructions to building occupants in the event of a fire or emergency. These notices outline evacuation procedures, stair usage, and safety protocols to reduce confusion, improve response times, and enhance overall building safety. 

Legal Requirement Explained: Fire Safety Notices are required under the NYC Fire Code and NYC Housing Maintenance Code, particularly for residential buildings, to ensure occupants are informed of proper emergency procedures. These notices are a critical component of a building’s fire safety and evacuation plan, helping occupants respond appropriately during emergencies. 

Who is Required to Post This Sign: 
- Multifamily residential buildings (especially 3 or more units)
- Apartment buildings and residential complexes
- Certain mixed-use buildings with residential occupancy
- Any property required to maintain a Fire Safety Plan
Property owners, landlords, and building managers are responsible for ensuring these notices are properly posted and maintained.

Where We Recommend This Sign Be Posted: 
- On the inside of apartment unit entry doors (common NYC requirement)
- In common areas such as hallways or near building entrances (when applicable)
- In locations where occupants can easily read them during normal use and emergencies
The goal is to ensure that every occupant has immediate access to fire safety instructions.

Unacceptable Locations to Post This Sign: 
- On exterior surfaces exposed to weather (unless specifically required)
- In areas not regularly accessed by occupants
- Behind furniture, decorations, or obstructions
- In low-visibility or poorly lit areas
- Posted in a way that prevents full readability (e.g., partially covered or folded)

Recommended Height / Installation Requirements: 
- Typically mounted at eye level (approximately 48”–60” above finished floor)
- When placed on apartment doors, positioned so it is clearly visible upon entry/exit
- Must be securely affixed (not loose or temporary)
- Printed in a legible font size with high contrast
- Durable material recommended to prevent wear over time
