Local Law 11, also known as the Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP), is a regulation in the City of New York that requires the periodic inspection of exterior walls and facades of buildings over six stories high. The law was implemented to ensure New Yorkers’ safety and prevent potential hazards caused by falling debris.

The law requires building owners to hire a qualified exterior wall inspector (QEWI) to thoroughly inspect their buildings’ exterior walls and facades. The inspection must be carried out once every five years and identify any unsafe conditions or building code violations.

If a building owner fails to comply with Local Law 11, they may face penalties and fines from the City of New York. The fines can range from $1,000 to $25,000, depending on the severity of the violation.

By hiring WRG to inspect your building’s facade, you can ensure that you comply with Local Law 11 and take the necessary steps to keep your facility and its occupants safe. WRG is qualified as an exterior wall inspector (QEWI) and has extensive experience conducting facade inspections and identifying potential problems. They have the knowledge and expertise to provide solutions that fit the owner’s needs.
