Would anyone know what the required spacing is for emergency lighting in a hallway for a multifamily building in New York City?

Not sure if this was adopted or not, but it at least gives a detailed description:

1006.2 Illumination level.
The means of egress illumination level shall not be less than [2 foot-candles (22 lux) at the floor level in exits, at exit discharges, and in public corridors, and shall not be less than 1 foot-candle (11 lux) at the floor level in exit access components other than public corridors] 1 foot-candle (11 lux) at the walking surface level.

Note the exceptions, though. The requirements may be completely different for dwelling units and sleeping units in Groups I-1, R-1, R-2 and R-3.
