§ 140. Fire  and emergency protection in public buildings. 1. It shall   be the duty of each superintendent or chief executive officer of each of   the public institutions and buildings of the state, supported wholly  or   partly  by  the  funds  of  the  state,  to  provide  that the following   regulations for the protection of the incarcerated individuals  of  said   buildings  and the buildings be complied with: There shall be provided a   sufficient number of stand-pipes, with connections or  outlets  on  each   floor,  and  sufficient  fire  hose to properly protect the entire floor   surface. Sufficient portable fire extinguishers  shall  be  provided  on   each  floor  of  each  building to provide adequate fire protection. All   fire hose shall be inspected under the  direction  of  the  engineer  at   least  once  every  six  months  and shall be maintained at all times in   proper condition. On each floor of every public building having  two  or   more stories where the rooms are connected by an interior hallway, there   shall  be  posted by each stairway, elevator or other means of egress, a   printed scale floor plan of that particular story, which shall show  all   means of egress, clearly labeling those to be used in case of fire. Such   posted floor plan shall clearly indicate exits which would be accessible   for a person having a disability, as such term is defined in subdivision   twenty-one  of section two hundred ninety-two of the executive law. Such   floor plan shall be posted in  at  least  two  other  conspicuous  areas   through  the  building.  Said  floor plan shall be no smaller than eight   inches by ten inches and shall be posted in such a manner that it cannot   be readily removed. Unless exit doors at floor  level  are  provided  at   fire  escapes  suitable steps must be provided under other openings used   as exits to fire  escapes  which  are  not  at  floor  level.  Painters'   supplies  and  inflammable  liquids  of  all kinds must not be stored in   buildings occupied by wards of the state or employees.  All  attics  and   basements  must  be  constantly  kept  free from rubbish or articles not   necessary to the proper conduct of the institution or building, and must   be regularly swept, cleaned and all broken or needless articles promptly   removed.2. Subject to regulations promulgated pursuant to this subdivision, it   shall be an  additional  duty  of  each  such  superintendent  or  chief   executive  officer  of  each of the public institutions and buildings of   the state to  equip  each  such  building  with  an  automated  external   defibrillator.  The  commissioner  of  general services shall promulgate   regulations providing for a phase-in schedule of  the  duty  created  by   this  section.  Such regulations shall address the appropriate number of   automated external defibrillators for such buildings, based on the  size   or occupancy of the buildings; the training of personnel and use of such   automated  external defibrillator; and any other matter deemed necessary   by such commissioner to effectuate the duty prescribed by this section.3. The moneys necessary to carry out the provisions  of  this  section   shall  be  supplied  from  the  moneys  annually  appropriated  for  the   maintenance of the above described institutions.
