Zero conflict of interest

Monthly sprinkler and standpipe inspections.
On time, on record.

NYC Fire Code requires a monthly inspection by an FDNY Certificate of Fitness holder. We show up when we say we will, sign your on-site log book, and send you a report with photos proving the visit happened. We only inspect, so we never have a reason to find work that isn't there.

01The problem

Your building needs a monthly inspection. You need proof it happened.

Under NYC Fire Code 903.5, sprinkler systems must be inspected at least monthly by an FDNY Certificate of Fitness holder, with records kept. Too often the visit is late, skipped, or logged without anyone showing up. Shield makes your monthly inspection something you can check.

What Shield Does

Monthly visual inspection of sprinkler and standpipe systems
Signed log book entry at the riser, kept at the building as FDNY requires
A report after every visit, with photos of each checkpoint and of the signed log book
Same-day notice of any deficiency
A clear deficiency record for the licensed contractor you choose

What Shield Will Never Do

Sell or perform repairs on what we inspect
Take referral fees from contractors
Skip a visit or log one that didn't happen
Sit on a deficiency
Find extra work to bill you for
02The idea

An inspector with nothing to sell you.

We inspect and we document. We don't repair or maintain systems, and we earn nothing from what the report says. That keeps the finding honest and the conversation simple.

Certified and insured

Inspections are performed under FDNY Certificates of Fitness S-12 (sprinkler systems, #93607281) and S-13 (standpipe systems, #93635076). Shield is fully insured, and a certificate of insurance is available on request.

No repairs. Ever.

We never perform or sell the work we recommend. If something needs fixing, you choose the licensed contractor.

Proof, not promises

Every report includes photos of what we inspected and of the signed log book, so you never have to take anyone's word that the visit happened.

03How it works

From first call to monthly record, in four steps.

01

Schedule

Set a standing monthly visit for each building. We confirm scope and your monthly rate within one business day.

02

Inspect on site

An FDNY Certificate of Fitness holder performs the monthly visual inspection and signs the log book at the riser.

03

Photo-verified report

Every checkpoint is marked pass or fail and photographed, along with the signed log book. Any deficiency is reported to you the same day.

04

Your records

We email you the report after every visit, and we keep one point of contact across all of your buildings. The official record stays on the premises for at least three years, as FDNY requires.

If a defect is still uncorrected after 30 days, FDNY rules require the Certificate of Fitness holder to report it to the Fire Department. We will always tell you well before that point.
