Ensuring Building Safety and FISP Compliance in
New York Metropolitan Area
The Façade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP) in New York is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and safety in the city’s buildings. FISP helps to enhance building safety standards and proactively address structural issues that could lead to property damage, injuries, and loss of life.
Key Aspects to FISP:
- Inspectors must meet stringent Qualified Exterior Wall Inspectors (QEWI) Standards for higher quality inspections.
- Regular inspection intervals with drops every 60 feet to monitor building façades closely.
- Mandatory cavity wall probes to assess hidden structural issues.
- Clear definitions for SWARMP (Safe with a Repair & Maintenance Program) and unsafe conditions.
- Detailed photographic evidence required for all reports that document façade condition.
- Enhanced public protection protocols ensure public safety during inspections.
