FDNY Permit Accounts and Certificates of Fitness

What is an FDNY permit account (equipment use permit)?

An FDNY permit account (also sometimes referred to as equipment use permit) is a building-level permit tied to a piece of equipment or permission from the FDNY. Common types include range hoods, A/C units, Public Assembly, sprinkler/standpipes, fire alarms, and more.

Permit accounts typically have expiration and renewal dates, and require periodic payment and/or inspections to maintain. Each specific type of permit account has its own requirements and processes. Failure to comply may result in FDNY violations. Learn about certain types of certifications issued from the FDNY.
