About

Fire Department City
Any building classified as Group E (1968 Code) or Group B (2008 Code) by the NYC Department of Buildings, which has an occupancy of 100 people or more must have a Fire Safety Director on premises during regular business hours. This includes office buildings, public or civil services buildings, and hotels.


The Fire Safety Director (FSD) must hold a valid Certificate of Fitness and is responsible for implementing a Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan, training fire safety personnel (FSP), and other duties related to the Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan.

This Certificate of Fitness is valid only at a specific location and for the specific person to whom it is issued.

All current F-25 & F-58 holders must comply with the new requirements outlined in the F-85 Notice of Examination  and successfully complete the Active Shooter and Medical Emergency Preparedness Course from an approved FDNY school to upgrade to the F-85 Certificate of Fitness by September 4, 2017 or sooner.
