261 East 202nd Street

Challenge: 261 East 202nd Street is a 323-unit residential development located in the Bronx, designed to provide supportive housing and services for formerly homeless individuals and seniors. The project required a reliable, code-compliant fire protection and communication system to ensure resident safety and meet strict FDNY and NYC building standards.

Solution Provided: County Fire NYC was contracted to deliver comprehensive turnkey services, including full fire alarm system design and installation along with a DAS-based Auxiliary Radio Communication System (ARCS).

From design and device layout to system testing and FDNY filing, every stage was executed with precision to meet the building’s unique occupancy and safety requirements.

FDNY Approval: County Fire secured FDNY approval on the first submission, ensuring compliance and enabling the project to move forward without delay.

Result: 261 East 202nd Street now operates with an FDNY-approved fire alarm and ARCS system, ensuring dependable emergency communication, occupant protection, and long-term NYC fire safety compliance, delivered on time and to County Fire’s high professional standard.
