According to the Local Law 10/11 of 1998, which is now called the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), all buildings that are six stories or higher need to have their facades inspected regularly. This inspection includes checking anything that is mounted on the wall of the facade that can fall and cause injury or other property damage. These things include light fixtures, air conditioners, and even tiles.
This report is then submitted to the department of buildings (DOB).
The inspection needs to be done by Qualified Exterior Wall Inspectors that are approved by the DOB. The report submitted to the DOB qualifies the building as either safe, safe with a repair and maintenance program, or unsafe.
At Zicklin Contracting, our professionals understand Local Law 10/11 thoroughly. We help you by inspecting your building’s facade and making sure that it is compliant with this law and its changing requirements.
