Wait!!!! You can make use of some of your old fire suppression system.
When purchasing an existing restaurant in New York City, evaluating the fire suppression system is a critical aspect. Here are the considerations to take into account:
Assessing the Existing Fire Suppression System
Inspection and Assessment:
Professional Inspection: Hire a certified fire protection professional to inspect the current system thoroughly.
Compliance Check: Ensure the system meets current NYC fire codes and regulations (e.g., FDNY and NFPA standards).
Condition and Age: Evaluate the system’s age, condition, and maintenance history. Older systems might not comply with modern standards and could be less reliable.
System Type:
Identify the type of fire suppression system installed (wet chemical, dry chemical, CO2, water mist, etc.) and determine if it is suitable for the restaurant’s current layout and kitchen equipment.
Deciding Between Salvaging and Replacing
Code Compliance:
Regulations: NYC fire codes might have changed since the original system was installed. Ensure any salvaged system can be upgraded to meet these codes.
Updates: Determine if updates are feasible and cost-effective compared to installing a new system.
