Our observers follow the DOB-required checklist per 1 RCNY §103-15, documenting conditions with photographs organized by building side and professional analysis.
Verify parapet is plumb within 1/8 of its cross-sectional thickness — the DOB standard for structural alignment
Check that all copings, caps, and appurtenances are stable and securely fastened to the parapet wall
Inspect for horizontal/diagonal cracking, displacement, missing or loose bricks, deteriorated mortar, spalling, or rot
Document parapet wall material, height, and width for each section — baseline data for ongoing annual compliance
Photos organized by building side (front, rear, sides) with close-up detail shots of any deficiencies found
Satellite and street-level reference images to orient the parapet observations within the building context
No hidden fees. Every observation includes the full DOB checklist, photo documentation by building side, and an IRIS AI-generated LL126-compliant report.
NYC Local Law 126 (effective Jan 1, 2024) requires annual parapet observations for buildings fronting a public right-of-way. Here's what's at stake for non-compliance.
Cracked, leaning, or bulging parapets can collapse without warning, sending bricks and debris onto sidewalks below.
Deteriorated parapet caps and flashing allow water penetration into the building envelope, causing interior damage and mold growth.
NYC DOB can issue violations for unsafe parapet conditions. Emergency declarations may require immediate stabilization at significant cost.
Building owners bear legal responsibility for injuries caused by falling masonry. A single incident can result in millions in liability.
