As global urbanization accelerates, the need for effective fire safety measures in residential buildings, particularly in high-rise residential buildings, is more critical than ever.
In New York City, fire safety regulations for residential buildings include specific requirements for apartment and guest room identification and directional markings and signs, as outlined in 3 RCNY §505-01. Additionally, entrance door fire emergency markings in apartments, guest rooms, sleeping rooms, and stairwell doors are mandated under 3 RCNY §505-02. These rules apply to Group R-1 and R-2 buildings.
- The Group R-1 Buildings are transient occupancies, which means they accommodate short-term stays, examples include boarding houses (transient), hotels (transient), and motels (transient).
- The Group R-2 Buildings are primarily permanent occupancies, examples include apartment houses, boarding houses, convents, dormitories, fraternities and sororities, and hotels (non-transient).
3 RCNY §505-01, Apartment and Guest Room Identification and Directional Markings and Signs states
Stipulates the requirements for the design and placement of entrance door room number markings for dwelling units in all Group R-1 and Group R-2 buildings and occupancies, and lobby and hallway corridor directional signs.
The signs and markings required under this section are meant to assist emergency response personnel in locating the dwelling units they need to respond to.
3 RCNY §505-02 Apartment, Guest Room, and Stairwell Fire Emergency Markings
It mandates that all entrance doors to dwelling units and stairwells doors in Group-1 and Group-2 buildings or occupancies have specific markings to aid firefighters in locating such dwelling units, stairwells, and in identifying multi-floor dwelling units.
