What should be done with FDNY permits during construction?

During construction, it is essential to maintain visibility and accessibility of FDNY permits to ensure compliance with regulations and to facilitate inspections. Posting the permits in a central location serves several vital purposes. It allows all relevant personnel on site to have immediate access to the necessary documents, ensuring that anyone who needs to check on compliance can do so without delay. This practice also helps to keep the entire team informed about the requirements that must be followed throughout the construction process.

Furthermore, having permits readily visible aids inspectors from the FDNY, who might conduct site visits to ensure that safety protocols are being adhered to. This can lead to smoother inspections and prevent potential delays or fines due to lack of accessibility to necessary documentation.

In contrast, storing permits in a mobile device may pose risks if that device is lost or if there are connectivity issues. Throwing permits away after use goes against compliance best practices, as it can create confusion about what was authorized during the project. Storing them in an off-site location might delay access and hinder the ability to quickly respond to inquiries or inspections. Therefore, posting permits in a central location is the most effective and compliant practice during construction.
