Ansul fire suppression systems are crucial for non-water-based fire protection in commercial kitchens, designed to activate automatically to safeguard your establishment even in your absence. Ensuring these systems are properly documented and filed with the New York City fire department is essential. Originally used as a preservative and refrigerant, Ansul systems have evolved into effective fire suppression agents, requiring regular inspection and testing to meet stringent safety standards.
Managing the filing process involves dual submissions: one to The Department of Buildings (DOB) and another to the Fire Department of the City of New York. Both applications involve fees and detailed documentation, covering mechanical and electrical aspects of the system.

The process initiates with submitting the Alteration Type II (Alt-2) application to the Department of Buildings, which initiates job number assignment and progresses to FDNY review and approval. A certified design professional must validate completed “Application for Plan Examination/Document Review (TM-1)” forms before submission.
The mechanical component of the Fire Suppression (FP) Filing includes hydraulic calculations and comprehensive plans. Approved applicants receive a Letter of Approval and endorsed plans.
Choosing the right fire protection services company is critical to navigating potential challenges, such as objections or discrepancies in submissions.
