Has a Response Deadline.
Penalty status depends on the summons, the response deadline and the FDNY/OATH determination. Correcting the condition does not by itself guarantee official closure. Prompt assessment helps preserve available correction and response options and reduces the risk of default or additional penalties.
FDNY summons penalties depend on the violation category, case history and response. Under the current NYC penalty schedule, the maximum civil penalty is generally $1,000 for a first violation and $5,000 for certain second or subsequent violations. Standard and mitigated penalties may be lower. Source: NYC FDNY Summons Penalty Schedule, 3 RCNY §109-03.

Violation — And Why It Costs You
When a fire extinguisher fails inspection or is found non-compliant during an FDNY audit, the department issues a Notice of Defect or an ECB (Environmental Control Board) violation. Unlike a warning, an ECB violation carries a civil penalty set by the NYC penalty schedule, together with a response deadline and an OATH hearing date. Penalty status depends on the summons, the response deadline and the FDNY/OATH determination. Correcting the condition does not by itself guarantee official closure.
Why speed matters: Prompt assessment helps preserve available correction and response options and reduces the risk of default or additional penalties. County Fire prioritizes active violations ahead of routine scheduling for exactly this reason.

What Usually Causes a
Fire Extinguisher Violation
Most fire extinguisher violations trace back to one of a handful of recurring causes. County Fire identifies the specific defect on site before quoting the correction.
Expired Annual Inspection Tag
The single most common citation — a lapsed tag flags the unit as non-compliant regardless of its actual condition.
Missing Extinguisher from Required Location
A unit removed during renovation, tenant turnover, or theft, and never replaced at its code-required location.
Wrong Class for the Hazard Present
Commonly cited in commercial kitchens missing a Class K unit, or server rooms without CO2 coverage.
Low or Overcharged Gauge Reading
Found during an FDNY spot inspection — a pressure reading outside the operable range fails the unit on the spot.
Overdue Hydrostatic Testing
Units past their required hydrostatic test interval, discovered during routine or spot FDNY inspection.
Obstructed Access
Furniture, storage, or fixtures blocking a unit's required visibility or reach — cited even if the extinguisher itself is fine.
Violation Correction Costs
in NYC — 2026
Corrective pricing depends on the specific defect and unit count, and is generally lower per fix than fire alarm violation correction since most extinguisher fixes are per-unit swaps or tag renewals. Re-inspection coordination is always included.
