Legal Requirement (NYC Admin Code & Local Law)

• NYC Administrative Code §15-135 (Local Law 115 of 2018):
  Requires that in the event of a fire, residents must close all doors behind them when escaping. Open doors allow fire and smoke to spread rapidly, endangering lives and property.
• Posting Requirement:
  Building owners are required to post this notice in conspicuous locations (typically apartment doors, lobbies, and exit areas) to ensure tenants and guests understand this critical fire-safety procedure.

Importance of the Sign

1. Life-Saving Measure: Closed doors slow down the spread of smoke, flames, and toxic gases.
2. Code Compliance: NYC law mandates clear signage to remind residents of their legal responsibility during an emergency.
3. Tenant & Guest Awareness: Ensures that everyone in the building—residents, visitors, and staff—knows the proper safety protocol.
4. Inspection-Ready: Helps building owners avoid fines and violations during FDNY and HPD inspections.
5. Durable & Visible: The PVC sticker format ensures longevity and strong adhesion to most indoor surfaces.

✅ This sign is mandatory in NYC multi-dwelling residential buildings and is part of the FDNY Fire Safety Signage program.
