Most New York City property owners and managers know that NYC Local Law 11/98, now called the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), requires an inspection of a building's facades every five years. The many aspects of the program, however, are often a source of confusion, especially those regarding filing status and follow-up repairs.
In RAND’s Ask Our Experts video series, RAND President Stephen Varone, AIA explains the details of filing an 8th Cycle Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) report, including the three filing classifications, what exactly SWARMP is, and when the inspection reports must be filed for each sub-cycle.
