Built to remove the conflict of interest from fire compliance.
Shield exists for one reason: the company that inspects your fire-protection systems shouldn't be the same one selling you the fix.
Inspection and sales don't mix.
Most buildings use a full service vendor that both inspects and repairs. Many of them do good work. But when the same company finds the problem and quotes the fix, you are trusting a report written by an interested party.
An inspector with nothing to sell.
We only inspect and document, under FDNY Certificates of Fitness S-12 and S-13. We hold no repair contracts, no service agreements, and no equipment partnerships. Every visit is signed in the log book on site and backed by photos in your report.
Alex Dortenzio, Founder
Alex holds FDNY Certificates of Fitness S-12 for sprinkler systems (#93607281) and S-13 for standpipe systems (#93635076) and performs Shield's inspections himself. Before Shield, he spent his career in B2B operations and account management, most recently as Director of Demand Platform Operations at OpenX. He started Shield to give property managers a monthly inspection they can actually verify.

“The moment an inspector has something to sell you, the inspection stops being independent. We built Shield to be the exception.”Alex Dortenzio, Founder
