The next cycle of the Façade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), also known as Local Law 11, is officially open as of today. If you own or manage a building in NYC, staying ahead of these deadlines is crucial to avoiding costly fines and ensuring your property remains compliant.
Who Needs to File?
Buildings with block numbers ending in 4, 5, 6, or 9 are required to file their FISP compliance reports within this cycle. The official deadline is February 21, 2027, but property owners are strongly encouraged to schedule inspections early.
Why It Matters
Failure to file or late filings can result in hefty fines:
- $1,000 per month for late filings
- $5,000 per year for failure to file
- Additional penalties and emergency repair costs if unsafe conditions are found
Benefits of Early Inspections
- More time to assess and plan: Early inspections allow property owners to properly budget for necessary repairs and avoid last-minute scrambling.
- Avoid emergency costs: Proactive maintenance helps prevent unexpected structural issues that could lead to dangerous conditions and violations.
- Secure preferred scheduling: As the deadline nears, inspection slots fill up fast. Booking early means working with the best professionals on your own timeline.
What’s Next?
If your building falls into this cycle, now is the time to schedule an inspection and start planning for any required work. The sooner you act, the easier it will be to meet the compliance deadline without stress.
