Reliance Group NYC offers expert Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP) services to help property owners in achieving entire Local Law 11 compliance in New York City. Our staff offers thorough facade assessments, precise compliance reporting, and dependable building solutions. We make sure residents and the general public are safe.
The Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP) was previously known as Local Law 11/98. It is a mandatory safety program initiated by the NYC DOB, and requires regular visual and close-up inspections of exterior walls and accessories on six stories or higher buildings. Under this program, a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI), a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA), performs a thorough facade inspection, finds hazards, and files a technical compliance report through DOB NOW: Safety.
Facade inspections are crucial for public safety in NYC due to its high population and old buildings. Building owners who follow FISP not only prevent severe penalties and violations but also lower long-term repair expenses and protect property value. Reliance Group NYC helps customers through every step, from inspection and reporting to remediation strategy.
New York City's legislated facade inspection and reporting initiative, FISP, includes periodic exterior wall examinations for structures above six stories to guarantee public safety.
Through DOB NOW: Safety, buildings subject to FISP must have their exterior walls examined and a technical report submitted every five years.
We provide a variety of options, including EPDM, shingles, seamless roofing systems, and green roofing solutions.
This grading means the facade is now safe; nevertheless, particular problems require repairs in the next cycle to prevent dangerous conditions.
Public protection steps must be quickly implemented if a facade is hazardous; needed repairs must be finished within DOB's deadline.
FISP reports are submitted electronically via the DOB NOW: Safety gateway once the inspection and evaluation are finished.
Late or missing documents might cause DOB breaches, civil penalties, and ongoing sidewalk shed demands until compliance is met.
Under FISP rules, parapets and other facade appurtenances are inspected as part of the facade assessment.
SWARMP stands for "Safe With a Repair and Maintenance Program," indicating non-urgent but necessary corrective tasks.
Reliance Group NYC provides professional inspections, compliance reporting, condition classification, repair coordination, and ongoing maintenance planning for FISP.
