Complete FDNY Approval Services in NYC: Plans, Permits, Legalization, and Code Compliance for Restaurants and Multi-Unit Buildings

When it comes to opening, operating, or legalizing a property in New York City, fire protection isn’t just about equipment — it’s about approvals. Whether you’re launching a restaurant or managing a multi-unit dwelling, every system must be properly designed, filed, permitted, and signed off by FDNY and DOB before you can operate legally. Master Fire Systems specializes in navigating this process from start to finish, ensuring your property is fully compliant, certified, and ready for inspection.

Fire Sprinkler Systems: Engineered Plans to Approved Installation

A fire sprinkler system isn’t just installed — it must be engineered, filed, and approved before it can protect your building. In NYC, sprinkler systems require detailed plans, DOB filings, and final inspection sign-offs to meet code. Master Fire Systems develops compliant sprinkler designs, handles submissions, and ensures installations match approved drawings so you pass inspection the first time. The result: a system that is not only effective, but legally certified and fully recognized by FDNY.

Fire Extinguishers: Compliance, Tagging, and Inspection Readiness
Fire extinguishers are one of the most commonly cited violations in NYC — not because they’re missing, but because they’re not compliant. Incorrect placement, expired tags, or improper documentation can all lead to fines or failed inspections. Master Fire Systems ensures your extinguishers are correctly specified, properly installed, and fully documented to meet FDNY requirements, keeping your property inspection-ready at all times.

Kitchen Suppression Systems: Plans, Permits, and FDNY Sign-Off
Commercial kitchen suppression systems must meet strict FDNY and DOB requirements before a restaurant can open or continue operating. This includes engineered plans, permit approvals, and successful inspection. Master Fire Systems manages the entire process — from system design and filings to installation and final FDNY sign-off — ensuring your kitchen is fully legalized and compliant without delays.

Exhaust Ventilation Systems: Code-Compliant Design and Approval

Ventilation systems are a major part of NYC fire and building code compliance, especially in commercial kitchens. Improper ductwork, lack of permits, or non-compliant installations can stop a project in its tracks. Master Fire Systems provides compliant ventilation designs, handles permitting, and ensures systems meet FDNY, DOB, and environmental standards so your operation can move forward without violations or shutdown risks.
