What is Honolulu Fire Safety Ordinance 22-2?
Ordinance 22-2 was previously known as Ordinance 19-4 before the latest revisions.
On May 3, 2018, Mayor Caldwell signed City and County of Honolulu Ordinance 19-4 into law, compelling high-rise condominiums to take action relating to fire safety. Roughly 400 high-rise condominiums in Honolulu are affected by this law. Each of these buildings must achieve a passing score on a rigorous Life Safety Evaluation (LSE), or alternatively, install fire sprinklers throughout their buildings.
The LSE process requires a licensed design professional to assess and score a building based on its existing components in order to determine if it meets the required minimum level of life safety from fire.
All existing high-rise residential buildings over 75 feet tall, without a sprinkler system, must be evaluated in order to comply with this law.
