"A spokesperson for the FDNY confirmed that it's against the fire code to store personal property in building hallways and corridors. Storage is not permitted in hallways and on landings, per the department."
"Bob Fash, a retired New York City firefighter and fire marshal, stated that while the stairs may appear clear, it could be a hazard for firefighters going up and getting caught on obstacles."
New Yorkers often use landings for storage due to limited space, but this practice violates fire codes. A spokesperson from the FDNY confirmed that personal property cannot be stored in hallways or on landings, regardless of the location. A retired firefighter emphasized that while the area may seem clear, it can still pose hazards for emergency responders. Therefore, tenants should comply with regulations to avoid potential safety risks and legal issues.
