What Is Local Law 11?
Local Law 11, also known as the Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP), is a New York City regulation that requires periodic inspection and maintenance of building facades. It applies to buildings over six stories tall and aims to ensure public safety by preventing falling debris and facade failures.
Under Local Law 11, qualified professionals must inspect building facades every five years. These inspections categorize facades as “Safe“, “Safe with a Repair and Maintenance Program (SWARMP)” or “Unsafe“.
Buildings with SWARMP or unsafe conditions must undergo repairs within specific timeframes to maintain compliance.
The law covers all exterior walls and appurtenances, including balconies, fire escapes, and parapets. It requires a hands-on examination of a representative sample of the facade, emphasizing critical areas prone to deterioration.
