The Façade Inspection Safety Program (FISP, also known as Local Law 11) is a set of regulations addressing the conditions of NYC’s buildings’ exterior walls and their appurtenances. FISP consists of a section of the NYC Administrative Code adopted by the City Council and fleshed out in a rule promulgated by the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB). Every five years, facades of all NYC buildings over six stories must be examined by a qualified professional, and a report filed with the DOB – and they must file a technical façade report with the Department. See NYC Construction Codes §28-302.1 and RCNY §103-04.
Property owners must repair dangerous conditions within 90 days of filing a technical report. Once the work is finished, owners must file an amended report within two weeks.
