Local law 11

Comprehensive Inspections for Structural Integrity

The primary goal of Local Law 11 is to ensure that building facades are safe and visually appealing while meeting all safety standards. It addresses concerns such as aging building exteriors, cracks, spalling, loose masonry, and structural defects.

Local Law 11, also known as the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) in New York City, is a mandate requiring the periodic inspection and maintenance of the exterior walls and appurtenances of buildings taller than six stories. This law ensures the safety and structural integrity of building facades to prevent hazards like falling debris and deterioration.

Ensuring Safety and Integrity, One Facade at a Time

Local Law 11 mandates that buildings taller than six stories undergo a comprehensive facade inspection every five years to ensure safety and structural integrity. These inspections must be conducted by licensed professionals, including registered architects and licensed engineers. Types of inspections include an initial inspection, followed by a re-inspection every five years. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods like ultrasonic testing, thermography, and ground-penetrating radar are utilized to assess hidden issues without causing damage to the facade.
