FACADE INSPECTION SAFETY PROGRAM (FISP)
New York City’s “Façade Inspection Safety Program” (FISP), previously known as Local Law 11, requires that Owners of buildings with more than six (6) stories above any grade have their exterior walls and appurtenances inspected periodically, in 5-year cycles.
PERIODIC INSPECTION OF PARKING STRUCTURES (PIPS)
Local Law 126 (PIPS) has been in effect since January 2021. This law refers to parking structures and addresses the requirements to regularly inspect and repair, as required and defined by the NYC Building Code.
We work to ensure your facilities' MEP systems are in optimal operating condition, as this is a high priority, being one of the most substantial investments made in the construction of a building.
