The Department of Public Safety and Transportation has implemented a temporary Fire Watch for the Nexus Building and Nexus Underground Parking Garage, effective today, May 4, 2026.
This safety measure is in place while we repair a burst fire sprinkler pipe in the underground parking garage; we anticipate the system will be fully restored by 10:00pm tonight.
Please take note of the following:
- The Nexus Building and the Nexus Underground Parking Garage remain open for normal operations.
- There was no damage to the building or property, and no injuries occurred from the incident.
- The Fire Marshal has inspected the premises and authorized the building to remain open; the Fire Panel has been returned to normal operations.
- The Fire Watch will be conducted and remain in effect until the fire sprinkler pipe is fully restored, which is expected to occur around 10:00pm today, May 4.
In accordance with Section F901.7 of the New York State Fire Code, this Fire Watch involves implementation of a temporary fire protection measure in situations where fire safety systems are impaired, inoperable, or undergoing maintenance. This entails assigning trained personnel to monitor the affected areas continuously to watch for signs of fire and take any necessary action to ensure the safety of the occupants and property.
Thank you for your understanding and support of our community’s continued safety and well-being.
