FIRE COMMISSIONER SCOPPETTA ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO CITYWIDE BUILDING INSPECTION PROGRAM

“The inspection program is a critical component of ensuring public safety by allowing firefighters to get a first-hand look at buildings before an emergency arises,” Commissioner Scoppetta said. “By increasing inspection time and providing more tools and information to our members, these initial steps will give firefighters a better opportunity to uncover any challenges they may face while fighting fires. What they see could ultimately save their own life or the lives of others.”

Fire Department Alters Its Inspection Schedule.

"In an effort to focus on larger and more complex construction and demolition projects, the Fire Department has decreased the frequency of inspections for some smaller projects. The move is part of a series of changes made in response to lapses exposed by the death of two firefighters at the former Deutsche Bank building."
