Re: [northeast] Manhattan Apartment Building Wired for FiOS
How about some fire-stopping in those conduits to stop fire from spreading from floor to floor? I do believe that it is necessary to extend the steel conduit 18" into the space and THEN be fire-stopped. At the very least some rock wool should in stuffed in the pipes during the construction period.

The trash closet may be considered part of the trash chute shaftway thus not requiring any firestopping.

I was thinking the same thing, although as also mentioned here code for that type of closet might not require it. I would think bp would indicate some putty or wool in there would be a good idea though.
The thing that struck me though in that closet was that the conduit ends so close to the floor. I would bet odds are pretty good someone will hook that cable on something someday.
Guess I would protect it a tad more than it looks like they are. Have to love the challenges of the retro-fit.
