NYC Local Law 115: The "Close All Doors Behind You" Signage Requirement
New York City Local Law 115 of 2018 mandates that property owners of residential buildings with three or more units display fire safety signage instructing occupants to "Close All Doors Behind You" during a fire. This law, enacted to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within residential buildings, is part of the city’s broader fire safety initiative. The legislation aligns with guidance from the FDNY, which emphasizes that closing doors during a fire can contain the spread of flames and toxic smoke, providing critical time for evacuation and firefighter operations.
Under Local Law 115, property owners must post this signage on the inside of apartment doors as well as in common areas like building lobbies and hallways. The signs must meet specific design requirements established by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including clear, bold lettering and durable material to withstand wear. Additionally, owners must distribute annual fire safety notices to tenants, reiterating this critical safety practice. Non-compliance with the law can result in fines and violations issued by HPD. Property managers are advised to ensure proper signage and educate tenants about the importance of fire safety measures like closing doors, which can significantly mitigate fire-related injuries and fatalities. This law underscores NYC’s commitment to prioritizing public safety in residential settings.
