FISP building owners should know

New York City's Facade Inspection & Safety Program applies to buildings greater than six stories and requires periodic inspection by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector. Filing classifications and repair obligations depend on observed conditions.

Official requirementsBuilding owners and project teams should confirm current cycle dates, filing windows, and requirements directly with the NYC Department of Buildings.

From observation to repair

A useful facade assessment identifies the condition, probable cause, immediate safety concern, repair priority, and next investigation step. Clear photographs, elevation references, and repair details help the owner and contractor act on the findings.
