LL5

Code: LL5 (legal requirement)

Description: Local Law 5 of 1973 is a New York City fire safety law. It requires certain buildings to have fire safety plans, fire drills, and other fire protection measures.

Practical Meaning: For homeowners, LL5 means the building may need fire safety planning, regular fire drills, and approved safety procedures if the property is covered by this law. It is mainly about making the building safer in case of fire.

Where You May See It: You may see LL5 in fire safety plans, building compliance records, FDNY-related documents, and references about fire drills or fire protection rules for certain buildings.

Why It Matters: It matters because fire safety rules can protect lives and reduce legal trouble, fines, or compliance problems. If a building is covered by LL5, the owner must follow the required safety steps.
