Preparedness

Fire Prevention

For your protection, please help by observing the following: 

  • Building Management must approve all contractors working in a lessee’s leased premises. Notification and a copy of a contractor’s Certificate of Insurance are required prior to the commencement of work.
  • Make sure all coffee makers are turned off at the end of the day.
  • Do not block any stairwells with boxes, trash, etc.
  • Call the Building Office if you have any concerns about the emergency systems, blocked exits, fire extinguishers, exit lights, etc.
  • Space heaters are prohibited due to the strong possibility of causing fire.
  • Smoking is prohibited except in the designated areas only.
  • Do not store items in the electrical closets or phone rooms. This is a Building Fire Code Regulations violation. These rooms can get very hot and cause spontaneous combustion.
  • The elevator lobby should be kept clear of boxes, trash, and particularly combustibles.
    • Keep all items at least 18 inches from the ceiling. All storage should be maintained at least 18 inches below the ceiling. This will allow the sprinkler system to work properly. 
    • Extension cords are prohibited. Power strips with a 15-amp breaker or fuse must be used and should be replaced every 3 - 4 years.
