FDNY Proposes Changes to Fire Safety Guides, Distribution Requirements

The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) recently proposed a rule that would change the content and delivery of the annual residential fire safety guides. A rule is a type of law that is proposed and adopted by a city agency. The rulemaking process generally takes a minimum of 60 days, and during this period, agencies are required to provide New Yorkers with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed rules. The comment period on FDNY’s proposed rule regarding fire safety guides recently closed.
