Under New York City Fire Code §901.6, owners of buildings required to have fire protection systems shall maintain those systems in an operative condition at all times and shall have them inspected and tested by a qualified person at the intervals required by the Fire Code and the referenced standards. The Client acknowledges this obligation and agrees that Inspector Sprinkler’s Services are provided to assist in meeting, but not to guarantee satisfaction of, these requirements.
