Importance of the Lobby Fire Safety Notice (FDNY Rules & Regulations)

Under FDNY Fire Code § 408-02, all residential multiple dwellings must post Fire Safety Notices in their lobbies and within individual apartments. For fireproof buildings, the instructions differ from those in non-fireproof structures. Because these buildings are constructed to contain fires within specific areas, tenants are usually advised to remain inside their units, keep doors closed, and wait for official instructions from the FDNY, unless conditions become untenable.

The purpose of the notice is to provide clear, life-saving instructions in plain language so that residents know what to do immediately in case of fire. This reduces confusion, prevents unnecessary evacuations, and supports coordinated emergency response efforts.

Failure to post the Fire Safety Notice can result in violations, fines, and liability risks for property owners. More critically, it can endanger lives by leaving tenants without official guidance during a fire. By ensuring that this signage is properly displayed, building owners comply with HPD and FDNY regulations while promoting resident safety and preparedness.

Installing the Lobby Fire Safety Notice – Fireproof Building is not just about legal compliance—it is a vital step in protecting tenants, supporting first responders, and reinforcing NYC’s fire safety standards.
