Final Reminder For
Facade Inspection Report Deadline

Owners of
buildings higher than six stories in height still have
time to file their required Facade Inspection & Safety
Program (FISP) Sub-Cycle 9A inspection reports before
the deadline next Monday, February 21, at 11:59 pm.

The
upcoming Sub-Cycle 9A deadline for this program
specifically 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.

Deadline Approaching
For FAIRER Program

There is
still time for New Yorkers with unpaid OATH judgments to
have related violation penalties reduced by up to 75%,
thanks to the NYC Department of Finance's FAIRER
program.

The

Fine and Interest Reduction Enabling Recovery (FAIRER)
Program is running until March 20, 2022, and
allows New Yorkers the opportunity to pay a reduced
amount for eligible OATH/ECB judgments if the violations
are

certified as corrected with DOB.

Any
respondent - an individual or business named on a
violation - may participate in the FAIRER Program. Don't
miss out on this great opportunity to correct violations
at your property and pay reduced amounts for previously
issued judgments.

For
questions about a DOB-issued violation, contact the
Department's Administrative Enforcement Unit at (212)
393-2405 or

contact us online.
