Design & Installation Built to Prevent Maintenance Failures

Many fire alarm deficiencies cited during inspections are not caused by poor maintenance—they stem from systems that were never properly designed, approved, or installed.

County Fire approaches fire alarm design and installation as a full compliance lifecycle, not a one-time construction task. Our systems are engineered, documented, and installed with FDNY enforcement realities in mind, so they remain serviceable, testable, and inspection-ready long after acceptance.

Unlike maintenance-only providers, we focus on preventing recurring deficiencies by ensuring devices, circuits, programming, and documentation are correct from day one. This reduces inspection failures, limits corrective service costs, and simplifies long-term testing and maintenance.

Fire Alarm Design & Installation: What FDNY Requires

FDNY approval is not based on equipment alone. During plan review, acceptance testing, and inspections, FDNY evaluates whether:

    • The system is professionally engineered and code-compliant
    • Plans are approved prior to installation
    • Equipment matches approved submittals
    • Devices are installed per approved drawings
    • Programming and sequence of operations function correctly
    • Acceptance testing is properly performed and documented
    • Records are complete and inspection-ready

County Fire designs and installs systems specifically to meet these enforcement criteria—not generic interpretations of code.

Fire alarm design and installation is required for:

    • New building construction
    • Change of occupancy or use
    • Major renovations or system expansions
    • Replacement of obsolete or non-compliant systems
    • FDNY or DOB-mandated system upgrades

Attempting to modify or install systems without proper design approval often results in failed inspections, stop-work orders, or rejected acceptance tests.
