understanding NYC's "Close All Doors Behind You" Signage Law
New York City’s Housing Maintenance Code mandates that residential buildings with three or more units prominently display signs instructing tenants to “Close All Doors Behind You” in the event of a fire. This requirement, enforced by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to improve fire safety and minimize the spread of smoke and flames during emergencies. Landlords are required to install these signs on the inside of apartment doors and in building common areas, ensuring that tenants and visitors are reminded of the critical safety measure to reduce fire hazards. Non-compliance can result in fines or violations, emphasizing the importance of timely implementation.
The law reflects NYC’s proactive approach to fire safety, recognizing that a simple action, such as closing a door, can significantly slow the spread of fire and smoke, potentially saving lives and property. The signage must meet specific design standards set by HPD, including clear and visible lettering. By making fire safety instructions highly accessible, the city aims to educate residents and ensure quick, life-saving responses during emergencies. Property owners and managers should stay updated on these regulations to avoid penalties and contribute to the safety of their tenants.
