Local Law 11, also known as the Façade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP), requires NYC buildings over six stories to have their façades inspected every five years by a qualified professional. Homex Builders performs the repairs needed to address the conditions identified in those reports across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island and New Jersey.
We work from your QEWI report to repair unsafe and SWARMP conditions, including repointing, brick and stone replacement, lintel replacement, parapet repairs, sealant replacement and balcony repairs, and coordinate with your engineer for the follow-up filing.
What Our Local Law 11 Services Include
Local Law 11 repair work commonly includes:
Unsafe conditions must be corrected promptly and SWARMP conditions before the next cycle. Delays can lead to DOB penalties and costly sidewalk sheds staying up longer.
Our Local Law 11 Process
We keep every local law 11 project organized, clean and clearly communicated, from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.
