Local Law 11 / FISP Facade Compliance
Five-year facade inspections are required by law. The right contractor turns compliance into long-term building protection.
What is Local Law 11?
NYC's Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) requires buildings taller than six stories to have their exterior walls inspected every five years by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI).
Inspectors classify conditions as Safe, Safe With a Repair & Maintenance Program (SWARMP), or Unsafe. Unsafe conditions require immediate protective measures and repairs within a DOB-mandated timeline.
Cycle 10B began February 2026. Building owners face escalating penalties for non-compliance, including the "Get Sheds Down" enforcement initiative.
