Which organization is responsible for overseeing fire safety in New York City?

The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) is tasked with overseeing fire safety throughout New York City. This includes a wide range of responsibilities such as fire prevention, education, enforcement of fire codes, responding to fires, and conducting investigations into fire incidents. FDNY plays a critical role in ensuring that buildings comply with fire safety regulations and that the public is educated on fire safety measures. They also coordinate with other agencies during emergencies to ensure a comprehensive response to fire-related incidents.

The other organizations listed have separate functions; for example, the Department of Buildings focuses on construction and regulation of buildings, the NYPD handles law enforcement and public safety, and the Emergency Management Department deals with citywide disaster preparedness and response. While these organizations may collaborate with FDNY on matters of public safety, it is the FDNY that has the primary responsibility for fire safety specifically.
