New York City has one of the nation's largest and most complex skilled nursing facility markets, with over 600 certified SNFs serving the five boroughs and the surrounding metro area. New York City SNFs range from large post-acute rehabilitation centers affiliated with major health systems like NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian to community-based long-term care facilities serving the city's diverse neighborhoods. CMS-certified NYC SNFs must comply with NFPA 99 annual PCREE testing requirements.
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) conducts unannounced surveys of certified SNFs in New York City. NYSDOH is one of the nation's most active state survey agencies, and Life Safety Code compliance — including PCREE documentation — is a consistent enforcement priority across all five boroughs. New York City facilities should maintain current, organized PCREE records immediately producible for unannounced NYSDOH surveyors.
New York City nursing homes · CMS data
New York City has 105 Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes with 29,170 certified beds. From September 2023 to August 2026, 50 of them were cited for at least one electrical safety deficiency on a Life Safety Code survey. Statewide, 44.0% of New York nursing homes were cited for an electrical issue over the same period.

Under NFPA 99, all of the following require regular inspection, testing, and documented maintenance when used in patient care areas of a skilled nursing facility:
Most skilled nursing facilities in New York City rely on third-party biomedical technicians for their annual PCREE inspections. In-house biomed staff are rare in the SNF setting — the per-bed economics don't support it. Contracting with a qualified technician through a matching service like PCREE Test gives New York City facility administrators access to vetted, credentialed professionals without the overhead of maintaining an in-house HTM department.
After each inspection, your technician will provide a complete documentation package: equipment inventory with test results, leakage current readings, ground resistance measurements, findings summary, and corrective action log. This package is what NYSDOH surveyors ask to see — having it organized and current is one of the simplest ways to avoid a citation during a Life Safety Code survey.
New York City's enormous SNF market and NYSDOH's rigorous enforcement make PCREE compliance a continuous priority.
