Local Law 10/11 facade inspections for buildings over 6 stories. QEWI examinations, SWARMP filing, and facade repair coordination throughout New York City.
The Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), formerly known as Local Law 11, requires buildings greater than 6 stories to have their exterior walls and appurtenances inspected every 5 years by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI).
Insparisk provides comprehensive FISP inspection and filing services, helping building owners maintain compliance and address facade conditions before they become safety hazards or violations.
Current inspection cycle. Filing deadlines based on last digit of block number.
Inspections required every 5 years. SWARMP conditions require ongoing monitoring.
All buildings greater than 6 stories must comply with FISP requirements.
After inspection, facades are classified into one of three categories:
Facade and appurtenances are in good condition with no unsafe conditions observed. No repairs required before next cycle.
Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program. Conditions that require repair but don't pose immediate danger. Must be corrected and re-filed.
Conditions that pose an immediate danger to public safety. Requires immediate protective measures and expedited repairs.
Review building records, previous inspection reports, and determine access requirements for close-up inspection.
QEWI performs hands-on examination of facade elements including masonry, terra cotta, windows, balconies, and appurtenances.
Facade classified as Safe, SWARMP, or Unsafe. Technical report and filing submitted to DOB within required timeframe.
For SWARMP or Unsafe conditions, we provide repair specifications, contractor oversight, and re-inspection for compliance sign-off.
FISP inspections cover all exterior wall elements and appurtenances:
