Additionally, the FDNY does not typically replace sprinkler heads if the owner, impairment coordinator, or responsible building staff is available; the replacement of these heads is their responsibility. However, if the responsible party is present, but not capable of performing the replacement procedure, the Battalion Chief can consider replacement within the confines of the safety standards established above.
