In 2008, NYC introduced a new Building & Fire Code into the Administrative Code of NYC. In- cluded were major changes in the manner in which fire protection systems are inspected, tested and maintained. The requirements on who is qualified to perform these tasks were also changed. A Certificate of Fitness alone is no longer a sufficient qualification to do certain

testing and maintenance procedures. Master Fire Suppression Piping Contractors and NICET certifications are among some of the qualifi- cations now needed to perform these tasks.

This course will provide background informa- tion on the development of the current and past Building Codes and their interrela- tionship with the Fire Code, the Rules of the City of New York (RCNY) and the various national standards. Specific instruction will be given on how to use the FDNY Reference Manuals to guide inspection, testing and maintenance of fire protection systems and the record-keeping necessary to keep in compliance with the regulations. Violations Orders, Notice of Violations and other enforcement procedures will be explained.

Citywide Fireguard for impairment F-01 – in any build- ing where a required fire protection system is not working, the Fire Code requires that some- one with a certificate of fitness perform a fire watch. This is a new Certificate of Fitness that came out in December of 2011. Previous certificates were issued for a specific location. This certificate is for any location city wide.

Fireguard for torch operations and Construction sites F-60 – the Fire Code re- quires that whenever there is a hot work (gas torch, etc.) operation taking place at a construc- tion site, a fire watch be done by a person with a certificate of fitness. This certificate could be required in an occupied building where there is major construction taking place.
