Long Island
garages.
Long Island and New York City are full of enclosed parking: garages under apartment and condo buildings in Queens and Brooklyn, below-grade levels under Manhattan offices and hotels, and structures at office parks, hospitals and transit-oriented buildings in Nassau and Suffolk. Enclosed garages are the ones the code expects to have carbon monoxide detection tied to the exhaust fans, and a sensor that has drifted out of calibration reads normal right up until it matters.
What we do for Long Island and NYC buildings
- Annual and semi-annual calibration of CO and NO2 sensors with certified span gas, plus a dated report per sensor
- New system design and installation where there is no detection or no working ventilation interlock
- Retrofit and replacement of obsolete panels and sensors that can no longer be calibrated or sourced
- Ventilation and VFD control work so fans run on demand instead of 24/7
- Troubleshooting a beeping panel, fans running constantly, or an inspection correction notice
Two code books, one request
New York City writes its own codes: the NYC Fire Code, enforced by FDNY, and the NYC Mechanical Code, administered by the Department of Buildings. Nassau and Suffolk buildings fall under the New York State Uniform Code instead, which adopts the international fire and mechanical codes with state amendments. Both come down to the same request from an inspector: the current inspection and calibration record for the gas detection system. Details are on our code requirements page.
Why owners call us
Gas monitoring is all we do. Mechanical contractors tack it onto an HVAC visit without span gas or the right regulators, which is how a garage ends up with a service sticker and sensors nobody calibrated. Since 1988 we have worked on whatever panel is already installed rather than replacing it to suit us, and we leave documentation an inspector accepts.
Portfolios across the region
Managing several buildings, we schedule them together and return one set of reports building by building, so nobody on your side has to track calibration dates.

Common questions
What does the code require on Long Island and in NYC?
Inside the five boroughs, the NYC Fire Code and NYC Mechanical Code apply. On Long Island, the New York State Uniform Code applies, built on the international codes. Either way the core requirement is the same: gas detection inspected and tested at least annually, each sensor calibrated at the interval its manufacturer specifies, usually every 6 to 12 months, and mechanical ventilation for an enclosed garage that can be controlled automatically by CO detection instead of running continuously.
Which areas do you cover?
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, plus Nassau and Suffolk counties, including Hempstead, Garden City, Mineola, Great Neck, Long Beach, Glen Cove, Huntington, Melville, Hauppauge, Islip and Ronkonkoma.
Can you take over from our current vendor?
Yes. Send your last service report, or tell us you cannot find one, and we will inspect what is installed and tell you its condition before quoting anything.
