§ 3007-01 Fire Service Annunciators. (a) Applicability of NFPA 72. The provisions of National Fire Protection Association ("NFPA") standard 72 Section 21.5 as amended and adopted by 1 RCNY § 3616-04 shall apply to the design and installation requirements for fire service annunciators associated with fire service access elevators ("FSAE") installed as required by sections 403.6.1 and 3007.7 of the Building Code. These provisions shall not apply to existing buildings lawfully erected in accordance with a Building code prior to the 2014 Building code that did not require the installation of an FSAE, unless an alteration to such building triggers the requirement to newly install an FSAE. The provisions of this rule shall not apply to FSAE annunciator installations approved by the New York City Fire Department prior to the effective date of this rule. (b) Temporary and final certificates of occupancy. Buildings with an occupied floor more than 120 feet above the lowest level of fire department access that have received a temporary certificate of occupancy prior to the effective date of this rule may be issued a certificate of occupancy before the installation of a fire service annunciator. Such buildings, and buildings with an occupied floor more than 120 feet above the lowest level of fire department access that have been issued a certificate of occupancy without such fire service annunciator, must comply with the design and installation requirements identified in subdivision a of this section by no later than three years from the effective date of this rule. (c) Construction sign-off. Buildings with an occupied floor more than 120 feet above the lowest level of fire department access that have received construction sign-off prior to the effective date of this rule may be issued a certificate of occupancy before the installation of a fire service annunciator. Such buildings must comply with the design and installation requirements identified in subdivision a of this section by no later than three years from the effective date of this rule.
