Host Mark Levine of NYC
Property Management Firm EBMG sits down with William T. Payne, PE of
engineering firm O & S Associates on the ever-expanding FISP
(formerly Local Law 10 and Local Law 11) in New York City.
For buildings taller than 6 1/2 stories,
FISP is an every-five year review of the facade. NYC law dictates when
each building is to be inspected, how they’re inspected and what the
requirements to file as SAFE, Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program
(SWARMP) or UNSAFE. Bill and Mark walk you through why the law came
into place, the various degrees of inspections and how this present
cycle (9) has changed to be more stringent on the inspection side and
also on the job experience of those inspecting (plus why it’s about to
get more expensive).
When does your building need to file in NYC?
