With the exception of New York City, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code applies to each and every facility owned or operated by a school district or Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). Section 155.3 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education applies to all school buildings except for those within New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Yonkers. School districts and BOCES must arrange for an annual inspection of each facility that they own, lease, or operate. An inspection report must be completed for each facility at the time of the annual inspection. This report combines the fire safety requirement of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, and the fire prevention standards of the State Fire Prevention and Building Code. The entire process, from planning for the inspection through correction of nonconformances, requires careful preparation. This manual is designed to provide instruction for the school administrator and the inspector for completing the report. It provides background information and details about the Code and regulations, and explains the inspection and enforcement processes. (MLF)
