Facade Inspection Deadline is Approaching – Schedule Your Inspection ASAP


Sub-cycle 9A FISP Filing Deadline Approaching

The filing deadline for NYC's Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) Sub-cycle 9A is less than five months away on February 21, 2022.

Owners of buildings in Sub-cycle 9A (block numbers ending in 4, 5, 6, or 9) must have their buildings inspected and their 9th Cycle facade inspection reports filed with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) by the deadline to avoid $1,000/month penalties and an additional $5,000 failure to file penalty, which is assessed on an annual basis.

Time is of the Essence
It is critical to have your 9A buildings inspected as soon as possible. New requirements for the 9th Cycle, including additional hands-on inspections and probe investigations for cavity wall facades, as well as COVID-19 slowdowns, have increased the lead time of the entire facade inspection process to approximately three to four months. We strongly recommend that owners and managers of 9A buildings schedule their FISP inspection well before November 2021 to avoid missing the filing deadline as failure to file penalties have increased fourfold since the last cycle.

Request a FISP Proposal
If you would like a consultation or a proposal for RAND to conduct a 9th Cycle facade inspection for your building and/or to design and administer a FISP repair program, please contact us at 212-675-8844; or FISP@nullrandpc.com.

RAND's Rope Access Inspections
As part of RAND's facade inspection services, we have a team of certified Industrial Rope Access Technicians who conduct hands-on facade inspections. With additional hands-on inspections and probes required, rope access can be more cost effective and less intrusive than traditional motorized scaffolds. (RAND uses both methods, depending on the building and the owner's needs.)

For more on the Facade Inspection Safety Program, including deadlines for Sub-cycles 9B and 9C, please see our FISP Fact Sheet.

We look forward to helping your building achieve a Safe filing status.
