What is Local Law 26? Local Law 26 (LL26) was created in 2004 to address building preparedness and personal safety in emergencies. The NYC Department of Buildings developed rules that apply to the facility itself, such as sprinkler systems and signage, which are to be implemented over a number of years. The NYC Fire Department’s role with respect to LL26 involves personal safety. FDNY issued rules that require all office buildings taller than 75 feet to comply with new safety requirements. These requirements set forth the components of building-specific Emergency Action Plans and training so that building occupants are prepared to evacuate a building, shelter in place or relocate within the building in an emergency. Compliance dates are as follows: Office buildings that are 40 stories or more, land marked must be in compliance by August 31, 2006; Office buildings that are 25 stories or more must be in compliance by October 31, 2006; and All remaining office buildings that are 75 feet or higher must be in compliance by December 31, 2007.
