2025 New York State Fire Code

The 2025 Fire Code of New York State, effective December 31, 2025, sets statewide standards for fire prevention, safety, and emergency response. Based on the 2024 IFC with NY-specific amendments, it applies to new construction and existing facilities. The code strengthens requirements for battery energy storage systems, enhancing safety through stricter inspections and monitoring. It also defines clear compliance rules for permits and operations. While electrification provisions were introduced, restrictions on fossil-fuel equipment in new buildings are currently suspended. Essential for designers, builders, and operators to ensure compliance, safety, and risk reduction.
