Led by Ariel Mizrahi, NYC Licensed Master Plumber #2402, and a member of the Master Plumbers Council of the City of New York.
Fire Sprinkler Inspection Services
Fire sprinkler systems require regular testing to stay compliant with New York City fire safety regulations, including 5-year hydrostatic pressure testing of standpipes and fire pump flow tests, coordinated with FDNY and performed to NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 standards.
Our team inspects and tests fire sprinkler systems, standpipes, and fire pumps for buildings across the Bronx, identifying any deficiencies and coordinating with FDNY where required.
A fire sprinkler system is only effective if it’s tested and maintained on schedule. We handle the inspection, documentation, and any necessary follow-up so your building’s system stays ready.
What Do Fire Sprinkler Inspections Cover?
Fire sprinkler inspections check the condition and function of the sprinkler system, including standpipes and fire pumps, following NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 standards. Depending on the system, this can include a 5-year hydrostatic pressure test of standpipes and a fire pump flow test, both of which may require FDNY witnessing.
Fire Sprinkler Inspections in the Bronx: Local Considerations
In Port Morris and Mott Haven, a number of former factory and warehouse buildings now house studios, offices, and lofts. Sprinkler and standpipe systems in these conversions were often installed or expanded as part of the change of use, so inspections here can mean tracing how the system was added to over time.
Newer apartment towers along the Harlem River were built with sprinkler and standpipe systems in place from day one, and their inspections focus on keeping that equipment on its required testing schedule.
From high-rises in Co-op City to mid-century towers in Riverdale, our team arranges FDNY witnessing whenever a test requires it, so building managers do not have to schedule it separately.
