Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Local Law 11, also known as the Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP), is a New York City regulation requiring buildings taller than six stories to undergo regular facade inspections every five years. This law is crucial for ensuring public safety and preventing accidents caused by falling debris or deteriorating facades.

  • The building owner or property manager is responsible for ensuring compliance with Local Law 11. This includes arranging regular inspections, filing reports with the NYC Department of Buildings, and completing any necessary repairs to maintain facade safety.

  • Non-compliance with Local Law 11 can result in significant penalties, including fines and potential legal liabilities. Additionally, the NYC Department of Buildings may issue violations or enforce emergency repairs, which could lead to further expenses.

  • A Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) is a licensed professional engineer or registered architect approved by the NYC Department of Buildings to perform facade inspections under Local Law 11. You need a QEWI to conduct the required inspection, classify the condition of your building facade, and file a compliance report.

  • Facade inspections are required every five years, in accordance with the Local Law 11 inspection cycle. The specific deadline for your building depends on its block number and the assigned sub-cycle (A, B, or C).

  • Facade conditions are classified into three categories:

    • Safe: No repair or maintenance required.

    • Safe with a Repair and Maintenance Program (SWARMP): The facade is safe but requires repairs or maintenance within a specified timeframe to prevent it from becoming unsafe.

    • Unsafe: The facade poses an immediate risk and requires prompt repair to ensure safety.

  • If your building is classified as "Unsafe," immediate action is required. You must install public protection, such as sidewalk sheds, and initiate repairs within the prescribed timeframe to correct the unsafe conditions.

  • A facade inspection involves a thorough visual assessment by a QEWI, including ground-level and close-up examinations using scaffolding or other equipment. The inspector checks for signs of deterioration, such as cracks, loose bricks, or water damage, and documents any necessary repairs.

  • The duration of the inspection and repair process varies depending on the size and complexity of the building, the extent of repairs needed, and the scheduling of required resources. We work closely with our clients to provide an accurate timeline and minimize any disruptions.
