FDNY Integration

The FDNY Integration allows users to electronically submit fire extinguisher inspection data directly to the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).

This is a compliance requirement for extinguisher inspections performed in New York City buildings.

🛠️ Setup Requirements 

To enable the integration, your company must have an FDNY API Key configured and the FDNY Certificate of Fitness (COF) number for each applicable technician. 

• You will obtain an API key directly from FDNY.
• Give that API key, along with each technician's name and Certificate of Fitness license number to your Inspect Point contact. 
• Inspect Point will add this information to the your tenant configuration.

Once configured, FDNY-specific fields and submission controls will appear where applicable.

If the technician does not have a Certificate of Fitness on file, you will not be able to submit inspections to FDNY through your instance. 

IMPORTANT: There is an annual charge for this integration, please contact your Customer Success Manager for details. 

🔄 How It Works 

✅ When the 'Submit to FDNY' button appears

The Submit to FDNY button appears on an inspection when all of the following conditions are met:

• The company has the FDNY Integration enabled.
• The inspection includes one or more fire extinguisher groups.
• At least one fire extinguisher on the inspection has inspection answers recorded.
• The inspection has not already been submitted to FDNY.

📤 Submitting an Inspection 

1. Open the Inspection Detail screen.
2. Scroll to the FDNY Submission section.
3. Click Submit [X] extinguisher(s) to FDNY.

The submission happens immediately (it is not processed in the background). The user will remain on the screen and wait for a confirmation response from FDNY.

📄 After Submission 

After a successful submission, the inspection will display:

• Number of extinguishers submitted
• Date and time of submission
• FDNY Reference ID (for your records)

⚠️ Important: 

• One submission per inspection: Cannot resubmit once successful
• What gets sent: Building info, technician's Certificate of Fitness number, and details for each inspected extinguisher (type, serial number, barcode, notes)
• If the FDNY Certificate of Fitness number is missing for the lead technician, you will not be able to submit.
