Advanced fire safety standards and laws are being applied to new high-rise buildings, but existing high-rise buildings are maintained and managed based on previous fire safety standards, which makes them weak to fire hazard response. This study was conducted to evaluate the survey results for the maintenance status of fire compartments and principal firefighting facilities of 157 buildings using the performance evaluation table for fire safety of existing high-rise buildings. This paper presents actual problems in the maintenance of fire compartments and firefighting facilities of existing high-rise buildings. In addition, it provides reference materials that can be used to establish policies for supplementing the fire safety performance the buildings in the future.
