Local Law 11 of 1998 (Facades)
Also known as the Facade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP), this law addresses the condition of buildings’ exterior walls. Every five years, facades of all NYC buildings over six stories must be examined by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI), and a report filed with the DOB. SUPERSTRUCTURES has been performing mandated exterior wall inspections for many of NYC’s most prominent buildings since the inception of the law in 1980. Local Law 11 comprises a section of the NYC Administrative Code (1 RCNY 103-04) fleshed out in a rule promulgated by the DOB.
