Local Law 11 / FISPLocal Law 11, the Facade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP), puts every New York City building taller than six stories on a five-year facade inspection cycle, examined by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector and filed with the DOB.
02/ 05
Inspection & conditionAn Unsafe finding starts a clock: protection goes up immediately and repairs follow on a deadline. A SWARMP condition must be corrected before the next cycle closes, or it becomes the next report’s problem, with monthly penalties and a mandatory sidewalk shed waiting behind a missed filing.
We provide the access, probes and openings the inspecting engineer needs to make a close up examination and record the elevation properly.
03/ 05
Protection & accessThe protection needed to work over an occupied street is ours, not a subcontractor’s: our own scaffold, hoisting and sidewalk bridging. Because the access and the repair are the same crews, the scaffold goes up when the work is ready.
04/ 05
RepairThe masonry, stone, lintel and sealant repairs the report calls for, from isolated unsafe conditions through to a full elevation. SWARMP conditions are programmed to be corrected before the next cycle rather than left to be re filed.
05/ 05
Close-outThen the paperwork that clears the violation the filing generated, so the building re enters the cycle compliant rather than carrying an open condition. The scaffold comes down the day the condition is corrected, not a season later.
Six stages, in the order they happen on an occupied building.
01AssessmentA condition survey by our own field crews that establishes what is actually wrong, not what is easiest to price.
02Scope, permits & filingThe survey turned into a defined scope, a DOB filing and a pulled permit. Our in-house expediting moves the paperwork so the schedule never waits on a counter.
03Access & site safetyOur own scaffold, bridging, netting and protection, erected when the work is ready, with DOB-licensed site safety managers and safety plans in place where the job requires them.
04Self-performed workThe repair carried out by our crews rather than passed down a chain of subcontractors. One company accountable for the concrete, the masonry and the schedule.
05InspectionWork checked by the people accountable for it and presented for agency inspection: DOB, DOT, or the QEWI closing out a facade cycle.
06Sign-off, violations cleared & close-outThe correction documented, the violations removed, the record closed, and a maintenance plan handed over if wanted.Every photograph on this site is the company's own project work.
Local Law 11, now administered as the Facade Inspection Safety Program, requires buildings taller than six stories to have their exterior walls inspected by a qualified professional on a five-year cycle. Conditions are reported as safe, unsafe, or SWARMP. Unsafe conditions require immediate action and protection, and SWARMP conditions carry a repair deadline tied to the next cycle.
We self-perform. The masonry, concrete, scaffolding and repair crews are ours, which is why we can commit to an emergency response and why the same organization that files the work carries it out.
Yes. Every agency runs its own track, with its own process and its own inspectors, and in each case we do the physical correction as well as the filing and the sign off.
All five boroughs of New York City, Westchester, Long Island, and the greater NY tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT). Our office is at 42 Broadway in Lower Manhattan.
The emergency line runs 24 hours. Because the crews, the access equipment and the concrete capability are all in-house, mobilization does not depend on another company's schedule.
Most of our work is on occupied buildings. Sequencing, protection, pedestrian routing and tenant access are planned as part of the scope rather than dealt with once work has started.
Send the violation, the inspection report or a photograph, and you will get a straight answer about scope and sequence.
