What must building owners provide to the Red Cross in the event of a building-wide emergency such as a fire or vacate order?
Owners of residential buildings must provide the names and apartment numbers of all legal tenants in occupancy to emergency staff in the event of a building-wide emergency, such as a fire or vacate order issued by the Department of Buildings, Fire Department or HPD Code Enforcement. HPD’s Emergency Housing Services Bureau assists displaced tenants with temporary housing at one of four family centers or at Red Cross-contracted hotels and facilities.
