What will happen to the fire code in effect prior to July 1, 2008?
The Fire Code in effect prior to July 1, 2008, known as the New York City Fire Prevention Code, is repealed effective July 1, 2008. However, some of the design and installation provisions of the Fire Prevention Code may continue to be applicable to certain pre-existing installations that will be allowed to remain after the new Fire Code took effect on July 1, 2008, even though they are not in compliance with the new Fire Codes requirements. The Fire Department will be consolidating such Fire Prevention Code provisions in Chapter 48 of the Fire Department rules for convenient reference.
