Is it legal to sit on your fire escape in NYC?
Question:
Answers:
Well, having grown up there and spent many a hot summer evening on the fire escape talking to the neighbors, I'm going to have to say yes. :) But it is illegal to block the fire escape route in any way, like with plants or anything that will keep people from being able to get to the stairs quickly.
Call your fire department & find out. :)
Even if it is legal, it might be against the building rules.
