From the Preface
This Fire Code is the first comprehensive revision of New York City's fire safety laws in almost a century. By enacting a Fire Code based on the International Fire Code, New York City joins a growing number of state and local jurisdictions across the country that have adopted uniform fire safety standards, with appropriate modifications to address local conditions and concerns.

The Fire Code Revision Project was undertaken with the participation of Fire Department fire officers, engineers, inspectors and attorneys; Law Department and Department of Buildings staff; City Council members and staff; and representatives of building management, design/engineering, manufacturing, public utility, real estate, trade and union organizations.

The Fire Department wishes to thank all of the individuals, agencies and organizations who contributed to the development of this Fire Code and made its enactment possible.

Citation
The New York City Fire Code is codified as Chapter 2 of Title 29 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York. Individual Fire Code sections should be identified using the prefix FC, e.g., 'FC101.1," and may be cited as "29 NYC Admin Code §FC____."
