In my NYS town we have a few churches that are over 75+ years old. They do not have “any” emergency lights or exit signs in the Nave (where Mass is held) the occupancy load varies from 50-125. I recently told them they need to install them. I’m getting some negative inputs as to “why now”. Any direction would be appreciated as my town thinks they can give them a variance.
What building and fire code and edition do you use.
Yes sometimes hard to go back and require stuff.
Sometimes it is easier to say for your safety these need to be installed, and give them a little more time.
