Are institutions such as nursing homes and hospitals (H-2 Occupancies) subject to the new law?
Yes, but the rules for hospitals and nursing homes are different from each other and from the rules applicable to private homes. For detailed requirements, consult Department of Buildings Rules 1 RCNY ยง 28-02(b)(2). If you are not sure how to interpret the Rules, or the Rules do not answer all of your questions, the institution may retain the services of a registered architect or licensed engineer to determine what is required.
