The building's exterior walls are in good condition. No repairs needed. Compliant for the current cycle.
Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program. Minor issues found. A repair plan must be filed and completed within the cycle.
Serious facade deterioration. Sidewalk shed required immediately. Heavy penalties accumulate until repairs are completed.
The Facade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP), formerly Local Law 11, requires NYC buildings over 6 stories to undergo exterior wall inspections every 5 years. A Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) classifies the facade as SAFE, SWARMP, or UNSAFE.
All buildings greater than 6 stories in New York City must comply. This includes residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings.
Late Filing Fee, Failure to File Fee, and Failure to Correct Fee. These compound over cycles and can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Each FISP cycle is divided into 3 sub-cycles (A, B, C) based on your block number. Sub-cycle A: blocks ending in 4,5,6,9. Sub-cycle B: 0,7,8. Sub-cycle C: 1,2,3. Each has a 2-year filing window.
Install a sidewalk shed, hire a QEWI, file a repair plan with DOB, and complete repairs. A licensed contractor like Avarga Construction Corp can handle the entire process.

A step-by-step guide for building owners and managers
Required immediately for UNSAFE buildings to protect pedestrians. Must meet DOB specifications and have a valid permit. Avarga handles the full installation and DOB filing.
A licensed PE or RA must inspect the entire facade and document all conditions. They will prepare the technical report and identify the scope of repairs needed.
Submit the FISP technical report and repair scope to the Department of Buildings. This stops additional failure-to-file penalties from accruing.
Common repairs include brick repointing, sealant replacement, lintel repair, parapet reconstruction, and waterproofing. Typical timelines: 3-12 months depending on building size.
After repairs, the QEWI submits a final report to DOB confirming the facade is safe. Your building status changes to SAFE and the sidewalk shed can be removed.
Avarga Construction Corp handles steps 1 through 5 as a single turnkey service. From sidewalk shed to final sign-off.
