NYC Fire Code requires specific evacuation procedures for high-rise buildings, including fire safety directors, fire drills, and detailed evacuation plans. The FDNY actively enforces these requirements.
New York City concentrates more workers into vertical space than anywhere else in the country. Manhattan office towers and supertall mixed-use buildings sit alongside pre-war walk-ups in Brooklyn and Queens, converted SoHo and DUMBO lofts, and ground-floor retail beneath apartments across all five boroughs. Older buildings frequently rely on a single stair or narrow corridors, while modern high-rises use phased evacuation and relocation rather than emptying the whole tower at once.
Private-sector NYC employers fall under federal OSHA and its 29 CFR 1910.38 Emergency Action Plan rule; public employees are covered separately by New York's PESH program. On top of that, the FDNY enforces the NYC Fire Code, which requires fire-safety and emergency-action plans for high-rise office buildings, a designated Fire and Life Safety Director, and regular fire and non-fire emergency drills. Those drills depend on a clear, building-specific diagram of stairs, routes, and refuge areas.
Dense streets leave almost no open ground for a traditional assembly point, so many NYC workplaces muster in a designated lobby or a pre-arranged off-site location, and winter ice makes those routes harder. OSHAMap converts your floor plan into a posting-ready evacuation map with every exit, stair, route, and assembly point marked, whether you run a Midtown floor or a Brooklyn loft.
Local factors to account for when planning your routes and assembly points
Many NYC towers relocate occupants floor-by-floor instead of full evacuation. Maps should label stair identifiers, refuge floors, and the relocation route so staff follow the building's plan, not instinct.
High-rise office buildings need a Fire and Life Safety Director and documented drills under the NYC Fire Code. A current posted diagram makes those required drills faster to run and easier to pass.
Lofts and walk-ups often have a single stair, irregular layouts, and narrow halls. Clearly mark the primary route and any secondary egress so a converted space is not left with one unmarked way out.
Crowded sidewalks rule out gathering directly outside. Pre-designate a lobby or off-site muster point and show it on the posted map so everyone knows exactly where to regroup.

New York City businesses must comply with both New York state regulations and local fire department requirements.

Yes! Our maps include all required elements for New York compliance including clearly marked exit routes, fire extinguisher locations, assembly points, and "You Are Here" markers. Maps are designed to meet federal, state, and local requirements.
Yes. The NYC Fire Code requires high-rise office buildings to maintain fire-safety and emergency-action plans, designate a Fire and Life Safety Director, and hold regular fire and non-fire emergency drills enforced by the FDNY. A posted evacuation map showing stairs, refuge areas, and relocation routes directly supports those requirements.
Private-sector employers in NYC follow federal OSHA, including the 29 CFR 1910.38 Emergency Action Plan rule. New York's state PESH program covers public-sector employees only, so a private office still maps and posts its evacuation routes under federal standards plus the FDNY Fire Code.
Choose a pre-designated assembly area such as a building lobby or a nearby off-site location, since crowded sidewalks are not a safe muster point. Mark it on the posted map, keep the route to it clear in winter, and brief staff so they head to the planned spot instead of scattering.
