The façade report is a licensed-professional filing, not a generic expediter filing.
NYC Façade / FISP Violation Resolution
NYC façade compliance applies to buildings higher than six stories. Failure to file, unsafe façade conditions and late amended reports can create violations and escalating penalties.
What This Service Covers
DOB requires FISP reports through DOB NOW: Safety and a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) for the technical report. Unsafe conditions must be corrected and an acceptable amended report filed.
Unsafe status requires repair + amended report
Correction has to be documented through the FISP process.
Penalties can continue
Late filing and unsafe-condition penalties can accrue until the acceptable filing is made.
