Annual Testing & Inspection of Elevator Lobby Fire Doors & Trash Chutes
Posted By vphillips on October 10, 2024
We would like to notify you of the Annual Testing & Inspection of the Elevator Lobby Fire Doors & Trash Chutes that is scheduled for:
Friday, October 18th
North Tower:
8:00 AM to 8:40 AM – Fire & Smoke Sliding Doors Inspection
9:20 AM to 11:00 AM – Trash Chute Inspection
South Tower:
8:40 AM to 9:20 AM – Fire & Smoke Sliding Doors Inspection
11:00 AM to 1:00 PM – Trash Chute Inspection
ELEVATOR LOBBY FIRE DOOR INFORMATION:
Fire/smoke doors are located at each entrance to the elevators at the lobby level. These doors, on each side, will be tested separately so that ingress and egress to the lobby will be available. A member of our Staff will be there to provide assistance and direction. Each side of the elevator entrance will be closed for approximately 7-10 minutes. To avoid potential delays at the lobby level please utilize the service elevator and exit through the service hallway at the ground level.
TRASH CHUTE INFORMATION:
The trash chutes will be locked during the time of inspection at the times listed above. The inspector will check to make sure that each trash chute closes and locks so that if there is a fire in the trash room, the smoke and fire do not travel to the residential floors. Part of that inspection includes testing of the fire door at the base of the trash chutes. The Trash Chutes are locked to prevent injury to the inspector when they are working at the bottom of the trash chute.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact Management.
