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).
