What Is Local Law 11?

Local Law 11, also known as the Façade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), is a critical part of New York City’s efforts to ensure building safety. Enacted to prevent hazardous conditions, LL11 requires buildings taller than six stories to undergo periodic façade inspections and submit a technical report to the NYC Department of Buildings.

The Goal?

Through LL11, NYC aims to identify and address potential safety risks, maintain structural integrity, and prevent façade-related accidents that could endanger pedestrians and occupants.

Inspections must be conducted by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI), who assesses the building’s exterior and classifies it as Safe, Safe With a Repair and Maintenance Program (SWARMP), or Unsafe. Property owners are then required to complete any necessary repairs within a designated timeframe to maintain compliance and avoid penalties.

Who Does It Apply To

Local Law 11 applies to buildings that meet the following criteria:

Buildings taller than six stories, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties
Co-op and condo buildings that meet the height requirement
Buildings required to undergo inspections every five years as part of the NYC Department of Buildings’ compliance cycle

If your building falls under these regulations, timely inspections and repairs are essential to maintaining compliance and avoiding costly penalties.

What Is Required and When?

To comply with LL11, building owners must:

Conduct a façade inspection by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) once every five years within the designated FISP cycle.
Submit a detailed technical report to the NYC Department of Buildings classifying the building’s façade condition as Safe, SWARMP, or Unsafe.
Address any Unsafe conditions immediately and correct SWARMP conditions within the prescribed timeframe to maintain compliance.

Failure to meet these requirements can result in significant penalties, including fines that accrue until compliance is achieved. Staying proactive with inspections and repairs is key to avoiding costly violations.

Non-Compliance Penalties

Failing to comply with LL11 can result in substantial fines that increase over time. Property owners who miss filing deadlines or fail to address required repairs may face penalties such as:

$5,000 per year for failing to submit an inspection report
$1,000 per month for late filing
$1,000 per month for unresolved Unsafe conditions
$2,000 for failure to correct SWARMP conditions

These penalties can add up quickly, making timely inspections and repairs crucial. Don’t risk costly fines—NECS helps you stay on track with expert guidance and compliance support.
