Since 1913, the fire code has been updated in pieces, but never given an entire review. The new code will impose an automatic three-year revision cycle so that it won't become outdated again.
New York City now joins a number of other local governing authorities that have adopted widely recognized regulations known as the International Fire Code.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to sign the code. It goes into effect in July along with the new building code, which recently got a similar update.
