Parking Structure Safety & NYC Periodic Inspection of Parking Structures Program (per Local Law 126) Compliance Webinar
As of 2022, New York City now requires parking structures to be inspected by a licensed engineer every six years per its Periodic Inspection of Parking Structures (PIPS) Program, as mandated by Local Law 126 of 2021.
In the wake of the April 2023 Lower Manhattan garage collapse at 57 Ann Street, and subsequent closures of several garages due to safety concerns, the necessity of routine inspections and maintenance is clear. It’s more important than ever for parking garage owners, managers, and operators to adopt proper maintenance practices and familiarize themselves with the intricacies of the new garage inspection law.
Our webinar, “Parking Structure Safety: Inspections, Maintenance, and Local Law 126 Compliance” is an essential guide for building owners and managers navigating the complexities of PIPS per Local Law 126. In it, RAND’s expert structural engineers and Qualified Parking Structure Inspector (QPSI) discuss New York’s inspection laws, common structural challenges, and effective maintenance strategies providing detailed information on safe, compliant management of parking structures. This session offers key knowledge on mitigating structural failures and adhering to safety standards amidst evolving New York parking structure regulations.
