City of Chicago Life Safety Communication System

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Communication is vital to safety when an emergency occurs. Building owners in the City of Chicago have been allotted time to install one and two-way communication systems through January 1, 2015. In light of the current economic situation, the extended date to comply to this ordinance allows building owners more time to install systems than the original 2012 deadline. The extended compliance deadline does not apply to the entire safety ordinance and some system improvements such as installation of fire rated enclosures around exit stairs require more immediate attention.
