Signs are a critical tool for managing a building. Signs are what help keep people safe, direct people to their next destination, and know exactly where they are and where they are going at all times. Every building, in nearly every room, uses signs to share information, warnings, and more to those nearby. Some of these signs may even be legally required by the NYC DOB, the fire department, and more.
Every building requires specific signs to manage the flow of people and ensure that those in or near the property are kept safe. Some of these signs are required, while others are optional and, in some cases, a part of the charm of the building. Examples include:
Some residential and commercial facilities like co-op and condo buildings require Building Management signage mandated by the DOB, and the fire department of New York ( FDNY), HPD or ADA, to show who owns or is responsible for a building, the fire safety plan, and other necessary information.
This sort of signage can be customized according to the building interiors and generally display the apartment number on the doorframe, the floor numbers, emergency exits, warnings, and dangers. These are only a few examples of the signs that are mandated by the Housing Preservation Department.
