Fire Department: Who Pays?Mar 19, 2010


There was a fire in the laundrymat next to our building last week at 3 AM. The Fire Dept. buzzed our ground floor rear SH to use his yard to get to the rear yard of the laundry, then bashed a large hole through our fence to get to the next yard. Who is responsible for the repair/replacement of the fence? Owner of laundrymat? Our insurance deductible is larger than the cost of repair so we don't have remedy that way. Thanks

Good 'Ole FDNY!
I would contact the building next door and ask them to ensure that it is included in thier claim.. then follow up to make sure it happens.

Good Luck

FDNY- who pays? - Anonymous Mar 20, 2010


Interesting subject and I now have a further related question. Our downstair door wells are locked from the ground floor but can be opened from the inside of stairwell. We had an incident many years ago that an assailant entered the residential floors and held a man and his family up with a gun.

Question:- there have been a few callouts to the building by the FDNY for faulty gas monitors to three different apartments. The FDNY do not wait a second for somebody to get a key to unlock the stairwell doors and rightly so they do a great job.The stair well doors and frame are badly damaged.

TO ANSWER THE INITIAL QUESTION:-Don't worry present all billing/claims to the adjoining building and if you had overtime staff present, remember claim everything to them for any extra costs to your CoOP or Condo.
