In such a highly populated city, fires can have higher consequences. Many fires occur when buildings are not compliant with fire code. Staying in compliance can help save lives and protect property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an FDNY Violation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fire Department of New York (FDNY) is the world\u2019s busiest and most skilled emergency response agency. Their goal is to protect life and property throughout the five boroughs. One way they accomplish this is by enforcing public safety codes. Properties that are not in compliance with the New York City Fire Code can receive an FDNY Violation. These violations can range from minor infractions to more serious issues that could even result in in the issuance of a criminal summons. Violations can be issued during an FDNY inspection or due to complaints to the City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the types of FDNY Violations?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>FDNY Summons \u2013 If you receive a FDNY Summons the unsafe condition must be corrected and you must provide proof of corrections to the FDNY within 35 days.<\/li><li>Criminal Court Summons \u2013 Criminal Summons are typically issued when a Violation Order is ignored. &nbsp;If you receive a Criminal Court Summons, you must appear in New York City Criminal Court. Consequences can include incarceration or major financial penalties.<\/li><li>Violation Order \u2013 Violation Orders are issued when imminent fire hazards are present. If you receive a violation order you must correct the issue before then deadline or risk facing serious consequences such as a Criminal Summons or Vacate Order.<\/li><li>Vacate Order \u2013 A vacate order prohibits people from entering the building until the issue is corrected.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid FDNY Violations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid receiving FDNY Violations, you must remain in compliance with fire code.
