Description

• Work scopes in this area may include: installing new interior doors, door frames, and a panic system with door closers.

Baseline

• General Interior Doors
  • In all multiple dwelling buildings, building entrance doors, unit entrance doors, fire stair doors, fire tower doors, bulkhead doors, and rubbish chute closet doors are required to be self-closing. Ensuring doors generous size vision panel allowed by the required fire rating for security and to encourage use stairs. Local Law 62 of 2022 defines a self-closing door as a door equipped with a device that will ensure the door when opened and released, returns to the closed position and self-latches shut. 
  • All self-closing doors should comply with the NYS Housing Maintenance code section 27-2041.1.
• Replace/provide non-residential door, frame and hardware with appropriate fire rating and ADA compliance as needed.
• See Entrances & Exits section of Building Exteriors for more information.
• Use heavy-duty non-proprietary door hardware. Lesson Learned: proprietary hardware is often more durable, but has caused ongoing problems and delays for repair and maintenance. [COMPMOD]
