Red Hook Lobster Pound, Brooklyn NYC

Challenge: Red Hook Lobster Pound, a well-known seafood restaurant and neighborhood destination located at 284 Van Brunt Street in Brooklyn, required a fully FDNY-compliant fire protection and life safety system to support high customer volume and active commercial kitchen operations. With open dining areas, kitchen equipment, and continuous service, the restaurant needed a fire safety solution that met strict NYC fire codes while maintaining uninterrupted operations.

Solution Provided: County Fire NYC delivered a comprehensive fire protection solution, including the installation of fire alarm systems, automatic fire sprinklers, and properly rated fire extinguishers throughout dining spaces, kitchen areas, storage rooms, and means of egress. Our team managed all FDNY filings, inspections, system testing, and compliance documentation, ensuring adherence to NYC Building Code, FDNY, and NFPA standards. Installation was carefully phased to avoid business disruption.

FDNY Approval: County Fire secured FDNY approval on the first submission, reflecting precise documentation, expert coordination, and inspection-ready execution.

Result:

Red Hook Lobster Pound now operates with a fully FDNY-approved, code-compliant fire alarm, sprinkler, and extinguisher system, providing reliable life safety protection for guests and staff. This project demonstrates County Fire NYC’s expertise as a trusted fire alarm contractor in Brooklyn, specializing in restaurant and food-service fire protection solutions.
