The city’s Department of Buildings said Sunday the building did have working hard-wired smoke detectors, and that the fire department was first notified of the blaze by the detectors in the building’s heating and ventilation system. A cause had not yet been determined.

Fire sprinklers were not required in New York City high-rises when Trump Tower was completed in 1983. Subsequent updates to the building code required commercial skyscrapers to install the sprinklers retroactively, but owners of older residential high-rises are not required to install sprinklers unless the building undergoes major renovations.

Thanks, @MorningLover, for the info on the smoke alarms.  I heard a report earlier today that a resident on the 40th floor wasn’t aware of a fire in the building until a friend called him.

You know, it costs money to retrofit. Unless one were mandated to do so, a good business man would never shell out bucks just to ensure the safety of his tenants. That would be silly. Besides, it's a "well-built building."

Along with other tenants..

Trump Tower serves as the headquarters for The Trump Organization, and many members of the President's family live there or have lived there.
