New York City is conducting mandated inspections of parking garages under Local Law 126, with tighter deadlines following a deadly garage collapse in Lower Manhattan. The law requires all garages to be inspected by 2027, with follow-up assessments every six years. Many garages need a preliminary inspection by August 2024. Building owners must be aware of updated deadlines, select the right engineering firm, and understand the inspection process. It’s crucial to hire consultants with experience in NYC garage repairs and to find firms that can minimize repair time and costs.
