Overview

Toronto Building's two-page application recording what life safety systems an existing building already has, filed with a permit application for work inside it. Seven numbered questions cover whether a fire alarm system is installed and whether it runs throughout, whether a standpipe and hose system exists and the fire hose length, where a sprinkler system is installed, the number of storeys above and below grade, whether the building is high-rise, whether the alteration is on a cross-over floor, and single or multiple tenancy. An architect, professional engineer or designer signs.
