Frequently Asked Questions About Annual Parapet Inspections NYC
What are the current requirements for parapet inspections in NYC?
According to the recent NYC Department of Buildings regulations, buildings over six stories must undergo annual parapet inspections. Additionally, you are mandated to conduct a full inspection every five years as part of the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP). Our professionals ensure compliance with all requirements while providing detailed documentation for your records.
What specific elements are examined during a parapet inspection?
Our inspectors carefully examine every element of the parapet, including the structural integrity of the wall, mortar joints condition, stability of coping stones, and waterproofing system. We also check adjacent roof surfaces and building elements that could impact parapet stability.
How can building owners prepare for a parapet inspection?
Prepare by gathering any prior inspection records, maintenance files, and any recent repairs performed. We recommend providing access to roof areas and ensuring clear pathways to all parapet walls. We will help you with whatever additional preparations your building may require.
What documentation will I receive after the inspection?
You will be provided with an exhaustive report including detailed photos, condition assessments, maintenance or repair recommendations, and all the necessary DOB filing documentation. Our reports address all regulatory requirements and offer clear instructions for maintaining compliance.
What to Do if the Parapet is Unsafe?
If the parapet is found to be unsafe during our inspection, we immediately implement safety measures like sidewalk protection and barriers. Our emergency response team partners with DOB for required paperwork and fast-track repair permits. We record all unsafe environments in full and put together an emergency response strategy to ensure public safety.
How does Zicklin Contracting handle historical buildings’ parapet inspections?
For historic buildings in NYC, we use specialized non-invasive methods that preserve architectural integrity without violating safety protocols. We follow landmark preservation regulations and DOB standards, ensuring the building is properly documented while maintaining its historic integrity across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
What weather conditions are optimal for conducting parapet inspections in NYC?
For the best result, we prefer to inspect the parapet once every year when the weather is clean. However, our professional team can perform inspections in various weather conditions except during storms or extreme weather. Spring and fall are ideal for comprehensive inspections because we can inspect the building at its clearest and see what the winter weather did to the building.
