Installation of automatic sprinklers in residential buildings.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the installation of automatic sprinklers in residential buildings

The proposed local law would require owners of residential buildings over 40 feet tall (12.192 m) to install a system of automatic sprinklers by December 31, 2029. Building owners would need to file an interim report describing a plan for compliance one, five, and nine years after the effective date, or until they have filed a final report indicating full compliance.
