S3 Ep. 5 Building Safer Communities: Code Compliance in Multifamily

 

Published August 2025

 

From fire doors to access control, safety in multifamily buildings is more complex than it seems. With evolving codes and increasing use of electrified hardware, it’s crucial to stay code compliant.

Lori Greene, Manager of Codes and Resources at Allegion, joins Robert to break down the essentials of building code compliance and its critical role in protecting residents. With approximately 90,000 structure fires in multifamily buildings each year, fire doors play a vital role in containing fires, but only if they meet code requirements.

More important topics include:

  • When panic hardware is required and why it matters
  • The role of special locking arrangement
  • Avoiding costly mistakes when modifying fire-rate doors
