Residential High Rises

I would like to explore the evacuation procedures and mandates for residential high-rise buildings. An article published in The Cooperator, a monthly condo and co-op publication, pointed out: “Although no New York City law requires that residential buildings have an emergency evacuation or management plan, experts generally agree that it’s smart for residential buildings to consider what they would do in the case of an emergency.”The article goes on to say that exit signs are required, as well as floor plans that mark the points of exit in case of an emergency. “Beyond those things, however, the city of New York doesn’t require that residential buildings formulate or maintain an emergency management or evacuation plan, nor do they require that these buildings make use of the photoluminescent exit path markings that are required by Local Law 26 of commercial buildings over the height of 75 feet.”I’d like to get in touch with the building management at some of New York’s highest high-rise residential buildings and see if they have formulated an effective evacuation plan in case of an emergency.
