https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/NYSFC2020P1/appendix-d-fire-apparatus-access-roads
The following Fire Code makes this proposed development project illegal, specifically because there are already in excess of 30 one-family dwellings with only one approved fire apparatus
access road.
The proposed development would jeopardize the safety of the whole community by increasing the total number of one-family dwellings by 16 units.
Please see the proposed development map attached to the existing neighborhood’s map, followed by the related New York State Fire Code:
