window guard/DOB code question

We just installed new Marvin windows, and now need to install window guards for our 2nd floor tenant. Is it acceptable by NYC building code standards to install a limiting device on the window that would not let it open more than 4″ rather than installing a traditional window guard? Safety first, of course, but wondering if NYC has a point of view on this. 311 and NYC.gov info haven’t been helpful.

Not worth the potential nightmare if something goes wrong. Just get the window guards and install them per instructions, etc. (sleep well at night)…http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2006/pr056-06.shtml
