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.

Architectural Archaeology at Medgar Evers
We’re architects, engineers, technologists, and sometimes, archaeologists. While we don’t sift through sand looking for evidence of lost civilizations, on some projects, reversing building alterations has revealed some interesting architectural artifacts.

Inside Out: The Tweed Courthouse
William “Boss” Tweed was the head of the notorious Tammany Hall, which dominated NYC politics in the mid 1800s. But don’t hold that against the historic courthouse at 52 Chambers Street that bears his name. SUPERSTRUCTURES is known for our work restoring the outside of the building envelope, but in this case, restoration involved significant work on the inside of the envelope as well.

CATastrophe?
In a situation like this, you might ask, “Just how heavy is that cat?” It’s easy to equate correlation with causation, to assume that because the cat is lying on the collapsed area of the canopy, it caused the structure’s failure. But here, as in our practice of exterior restoration, there’s more than meets the eye.
