Facade Inspection
Report Deadline For Sub-Cycle 9A

Owners of
tall buildings still have time file their required
Sub-Cycle 9A facade inspection reports before the
deadline next Monday, February, 22, 2022.

Filing
facade inspection reports once every five years is
required under the Department's Facade Inspection &
Safety Program (FISP) which is applicable for buildings
in NYC that are higher than six stories in height. The
upcoming Sub-Cycle 9A deadline for this program includes
properties that are located on a block number that ends
with 4, 5, 6, or 9.

These
reports must be filed with the Department to determine
whether the exterior walls and appurtenance of the
building are in good condition, or whether repairs must
be made in the interest of public safety. Property
owners who fail to file their required FISP report to
the Department will face monthly penalties, until the
report is submitted.

Refer a Building to
NYC Accelerator

Do you
live or work in a building that could benefit from
energy efficiency and clean energy improvements?

Tell our partners at at the NYC Accelerator about a
building that could benefit from these types of
upgrades, and a member of their team will reach out to
the building's owners and managers. The NYC Accelerator
can provide guidance to property owners on steps they
can take to make their building more energy efficient,
leading to better air quality and comfort for occupants,
lower pollution and carbon emissions, and compliance
with local laws.

You can submit a building referral anonymously or
let the building representative know that you referred
them. It only takes a few minutes to make a difference
when it comes to decarbonizing our city.
