Back-up generator requirements

When are back-up generators required by law?

Back-up oil generators (also called "standby" generators) are required by the NYC DOB for the following systems/buildings:

Smoke control systems
Elevators that are part of an accessible means of egress
All components of normal elevator systems for which emergency power is not required
Horizontal sliding doors
Auxiliary inflation systems in membrane structures
Locations where hazardous materials are stored must have either standby or emergency power
Any location with organic peroxides
Voice and alarm communication systems in covered malls
High-rise and underground buildings
Airport traffic control towers
Smoke-proof enclosures
Pressurized elevator shafts
Gas stations
Medical facilities

Even if a back-up oil generator isn't required for your business, you should consider installing one. Having back-up power protects your employees, customers and property in the event of a power outage.
