Local Law 11, also called the Façade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP), is an essential element of New York City legislation focused on maintaining the safety and integrity of building facades. Local Law 11, enacted in reaction to catastrophic facade-related incidents, requires frequent inspections.
Local Law 11's primary purpose is to detect and fix potential hazards and structural flaws in building exteriors that could endanger occupants, pedestrians, and neighboring properties. The city hopes to avoid accidents, safeguard public safety, and maintain the architectural legacy of New York's skyline by requiring frequent inspections.
Empire Gen Construction USA Inc carries a prime position as a Local Law 11 Contractor NYC. Local Law 11 requires building owners to hire qualified professionals, such as registered architects or professional engineers, to undertake complete facade inspections. To begin, Local Law 11 requires that the facades of residential, commercial, and mixed-use structures, be inspected every five years by a professionally licensed architect or engineer.
The inspection process typically entails visual examinations, the creation of a report about structure integrity, describing some flaws that needed to be addressed as soon as possible, and handing over this report to the Empire Gen construction USA Inc, which takes the necessary steps and evaluates all implementation. Furthermore, they prepare reports that must be reviewed by an authorised person (architect or other relevant person). The report states that the inspection has been completed and that all problems have been resolved.
