Mandatory Compliance for High-Rise and Group R-1 Buildings
FDNY regulations mandate an on-site FLSD, holding a valid F-89 Certificate of Fitness, for high-rise office buildings, hotels, and similar structures. Non-compliance can lead to fines, closure orders, and increased risk to tenants and guests.
Coordination During Emergencies
In the event of fire, smoke, or other life safety issues, a certified FLSD directs emergency responses—coordinating evacuations, communicating with FDNY, and activating in-house safety systems to minimize harm and disruption.
Daily Oversight of Life Safety Protocols
Beyond emergency response, FLSDs maintain and enforce daily life safety procedures, such as fire drill coordination, alarm system monitoring, and ensuring staff are trained in emergency protocols.
Commercial buildings 75 feet or taller legally require an F-89 certified FLSD. ISS ensures daily compliance, emergency readiness, and seamless safety management.
Transient residential properties must staff certified FLSDs during peak occupancy hours. We expertly manage drills, communications, and all required life safety measures.
Our FLSDs integrate safety plans across complex multi-use sites, helping maintain FDNY compliance and protect all occupants—tenants, guests, and visitors alike.

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.
In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.
However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.
Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.
Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
