Greenburgh, NY Building Safety: Door Locking Hardware (2026)

Chapter 330's Cabaret Law imposes building-occupancy and firesafety standards on any licensed cabaret in Greenburgh. Section 330-13(L) is direct: "All fire exits in all cabarets are required to have panic hardware. " This sits alongside § 330-13(J), which requires a minimum of two exits placed as far apart from each other as reasonably possible, and § 330-13(C), which requires sufficient exterior lighting at all fire exits for safe egress. Section 330-13(B) adds that cabarets with a permitted occupancy of 50 or more people must have auxiliary rechargeable battery lighting lasting at least 30 minutes, positioned so tables, chairs or fixtures cannot block it, with the Bureau of Fire Prevention setting the number and placement.

Section 330-13(I) caps maximum occupancy per National Fire Prevention Association Code No. 101 or stricter State Department of Labor rules, with the Fire Marshal posting the occupancy limit in a conspicuous location. Section 330-13(M) separately requires smoke and heat detectors in storage rooms, attics, basements, kitchens and boiler rooms, wired since January 10, 1983 to sound an alarm automatically, with an annual compliance affidavit due to the Fire Prevention Bureau every January 1. All of these requirements apply on top of, not instead of, the New York State Building Construction Code under § 330-13(D).
