Hello all,
I live in a 3 story - 3 family condominium garden apartment complex in NYC. The complex has recently received a violation from the NYCFD for a lack of a fire extinguisher at "boiler rooms" in violation of FC 906.1 and or 906.3 requiring an ABCD rating fire extinguisher. The 3 boilers for each of the 3 units are all in the 1 car, 1st floor garage in the same room with 3 separate doors for each of the boilers. The boilers are gas fired units of about 135,000 BTUs. I have read the codes that are stated in the violation, but don't see that it pertains to the configuration of the boilers in our complex. The complex is over 40 years old and I doubt that this is the first time the FD has noticed a lack of an extinguisher if it is required. Any help with the NYC requirements for fire extinguishers for boiler rooms fitting the situation I have described would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.
