NYC Local Law 11: Ensuring Building Safety
NYC Local Law 11, better known as the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), requires that any buildings that are over six stories tall must undergo an inspection on a five-year cycle. This regulation protects the facade and other components, including lighting, stairs, signs, and air condition units. Professional engineers or architects conduct extensive assessments of the facade conditions and categorize them as safe, safe with repair and maintenance, or unsafe. Any hazardous conditions that are reported have to be rectified within one month with a view of addressing the compliance issues.
For construction professionals, Local Law 11 draws attention to important areas such as facade repairs, masonry, and structural reinforcement. General contractors like NYC Construction Pro are professionals who have an important responsibility of handling violations and reporting them to the Department of Buildings on time. Since more than 12,000 buildings in New York City are covered by this law, it is crucial to ensure the safety of large cities and avoid danger.
