• It’s the LAW
– Local Law 26 -
On June 7, 2004, just weeks following hearings held by the
Federal 9/11 Commission, the City Council Committee on
Housing and Buildings voted to make New York City high-rise
buildings safer. By adopting 13 of 21 recommendations made by
the World Trade Center Building Code Task Force, New York City
is making good on some lessons learned from the tragic events
of September 11th, 2001.
• A section of the code requires that by July 1, 2006, all high
rise office buildings (75 feet or taller) and all high rise
commercial buildings in New York City shall be equipped
with approved photoluminescent material. Only products
approved by the Department of Buildings' Materials
Equipment Acceptance Division ("MEA") shall be installed.
