What we manage

One calendar for everything the law makes you buy

Most sites carry three to six separate mandated obligations and buy each one from a different vendor, on a different schedule, with nobody watching the whole picture. We watch the whole picture.

Commercial property

Fire permits & inspections

Life Hazard Use and municipal registrations, extinguishers, emergency and exit lighting, kitchen hood systems, fire doors, and the alarm and sprinkler dates your other vendors owe you.

  • Restaurants, offices, retail, warehouses
  • Apartment buildings and managed portfolios
  • Schools, day care, houses of worship
Commercial properties →
EMS & fire departments

Oxygen, cylinders & the rig file

21 CFR Part 213 fill-station documentation, every O2 cylinder tracked by serial and DOT requalification date, rig and station extinguishers, AED program, SCBA hydro and breathing-air records.

  • Volunteer and municipal squads
  • Fire departments with SCBA and EMS rigs
  • Priced for squad budgets
Medical oxygen program →
Hospitals & nursing homes

Quarterly inspections & survey files

Type C occupancies are inspected four times a year and surveyed on the Life Safety Code. We keep the K-tag evidence, the plan-of-correction file, and the medical-oxygen cylinder and bulk-supply records in one place.

  • Nursing homes, assisted living, subacute rehab
  • Hospitals and outpatient sites
  • Environment of Care documentation
Healthcare facilities →
Data centers

Suppression, detection & backup power

Clean-agent systems, pre-action sprinklers, air-sampling smoke detection, generators, fuel tanks, and UPS battery rooms, each with its own inspection clock, all on one calendar with the file an auditor can read.

  • Colocation and enterprise data halls
  • Server rooms, telecom and edge sites
  • NFPA 2001, 25, 72, 110 and 855 records

How it works

From a free walkthrough to an inspection-ready file

The full checklist: what we look for, what we install, every obligation by how often it comes due →

Free 30-minute walkthrough

We walk every device and every cylinder, photograph the tags, and leave a written gap list with the code citation next to each item. It is yours whether or not you hire us.

We build your calendar and site file

Every asset inventoried, every code-required date scheduled, every permit and registration on the same page, in your client portal.

Scheduled visits, nothing surprising

Routine service is done on the calendar. Anything beyond it is quoted in writing before it is done, and what you decline is documented too.

You hold the file

After every visit the report, the tags, and the updated calendar are in your portal. The fire official, the surveyor, and your broker get a clean answer.

Why it matters

Four separate authorities can penalize the same missed date

None of them needs the others to act first.

The fire official$5,000 per violation, per day

New Jersey's default penalty, and each day counts as a new violation. Orders to vacate are posted on the spot.

OSHA$16,550 serious · $165,514 willful

Portable extinguishers, exits, emergency lighting, and compressed-gas handling are all on the checklist.

Your insurerCoverage forfeited

Under a protective safeguards endorsement, a lapse in maintenance can void a fire claim with no requirement to prove the lapse caused the loss.

The courtsCivil and criminal

Liability after an injury, and in the worst cases criminal charges. Blocked egress and dead alarms have produced murder convictions.

Medical oxygen carries the same structure: FDA (21 CFR Part 213), DOT cylinder requalification (49 CFR 180), state health-department licensing, and state EMS inspections that check oxygen readiness.

It already happened here

Not after a fire. After an inspection.

On July 2, 2024, the Hackensack Fire Department posted an Order to Vacate on a national restaurant chain's location over an out-of-service kitchen hood suppression system. The doors closed that afternoon.

Every one of our customers keeps a site file that would have passed that visit, because we scheduled the service, verified the tag, and filed the report before anyone with a badge asked for it.

Client portal & alerts

Know what is happening at your site without calling anyone

Every customer gets a site file in the Safety City portal: the equipment inventory, the compliance calendar with next-due dates, every service report, every cylinder by serial number and hydro date, and permits and registrations with renewal dates. On top of the file, three things most vendors do not give you:

  • Order tracking. Every request gets a number, an estimated completion time, and a status page that updates as we review, schedule, drive out, and finish. Track an order.
  • Calendar sync. Your compliance calendar subscribes into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar and updates itself when a date moves.
  • Alarm and fault alerts. Your alarm panel, monitoring company, or our technicians can post signals to your site's private alert link. When something opens, the people you choose get an email, a text, a push notification, and a phone call, in that order, until someone acknowledges it.

Alerts add a second set of eyes. They do not replace 911 or your monitoring company.

Where we are going

Building the largest third-party permit-compliance company in the country, one county at a time

Fire and life-safety compliance is spread across nearly twenty thousand small operators, and no company holds even a twentieth of it. Nobody owns the customer's whole compliance calendar. We intend to, starting in Bergen County, then New Jersey, then every county where the fire official keeps a list.

Common questions

How does pricing work?

You get one written price sheet at the free walkthrough. It is the same sheet for every customer, it is locked for the term of your agreement, and anything beyond routine service is quoted from it in writing before the work is done. Agreements run 12 months and do not auto-renew. You can cancel with 30 days' notice. Your records leave with you.

Is the walkthrough really free?

Yes. Thirty minutes at your site or station. We walk every device, photograph the tags, and leave you a one-page gap list with the citation next to each item. It is yours whether or not you ever hire us.

Are you licensed?

Not yet. Safety City Compliance has applied for a New Jersey Division of Fire Safety portable fire extinguisher contractor permit; the application is pending. We have an ICC/NAFED-certified technician and $1,000,000 in general liability coverage. The permit number appears in the footer the day it issues. Until then we coordinate extinguisher service through a permitted contractor, and we own the calendar, the paperwork, and the file. We say so plainly.

We already have a fire-equipment vendor. Why talk to you?

For a second opinion. Bring your last twelve months of invoices and your last inspection report to the walkthrough and we will show you line by line what you paid for and what you are not getting. If your vendor is doing it right, we will say so.

Do you supply medical oxygen?

Today we run the documentation and cylinder-tracking program for squads, hospitals, and nursing homes, and we coordinate supply with your existing filler. Cylinder exchange and filling under our own FDA and state registrations are on the roadmap and will be announced when those registrations issue. Details here.

What areas do you serve?

Every municipality in Bergen County, New Jersey, with Passaic, Hudson, and Essex counties by arrangement. Multi-site organizations elsewhere in New Jersey can ask about compliance-calendar service.
