SUPERSTRUCTURES Engineers + Architects
New York City's most prominent firm dedicated to the restoration and renewal of
facades, curtain walls, roofs, plazas, parking structures, and infrastructure

We work on more exterior restoration projects than any other firm in New York City

Since our founding in 1981, we’ve successfully completed thousands of restoration projects for the region’s most prestigious and demanding clients, including some of the most prominent and historically significant structures in the city.

In the interest of public safety, the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) has established three laws related to the inspection of facades, parking structures, and retaining walls within the five boroughs:

Local Law 126 of 2021 (Parking Structures)
This law mandates periodic assessment of all parking structures every six years to ensure they’re maintained in a safe condition. Learn more at NYCLocalLaw126.com

Local Law 11 of 1998 (Facades)
Also known as the Facade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP), this law addresses the condition of exterior walls of buildings taller than six stories. Learn more at LocalLaw11.com

Local Law 37 of 2008 (Retaining Walls)
Similar to FISP, retaining walls must be inspected and required maintenance performed every five years.

Bucky Rides Again…
…or more precisely, hops again. As our unofficial, perennial mascot, Bucky continues to inspire our practice. Bucky’s solution sends a message: why follow convention when there’s a better path, though it may require more creativity and unconventional initiative?

Infrastructure or Outfrastructure?
When you hear the word infrastructure, you may think of roads, bridges, airports, and public spaces—the built environment that links our homes, stores, schools, offices, and cities together. But in a dense urban environment like New York, building envelopes—SUPERSTRUCTURES’ specialty—are infrastructure. To make this relationship more evident, why not adopt the term outfrastructure?

New Tech—Vintage Buildings
For the tech companies of New York’s “Silicon Alley” (originally centered on the Flatiron District), newer isn’t necessarily better when it comes to office space. Some have opted for sleek, new construction like Microsoft’s offices at 11 Times Square. Others, including Google and many smaller startups, have found homes in buildings that are over a hundred years old.
