Under the program, all facades of buildings taller than six stories must be inspected by a licensed engineer or architect, and a report filed with the Department of Buildings (DOB). The inspection and filing window is determined by the last digit of the building's block number:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blocks ending in 4, 5, 6, or 9: February 21, 2015 to February 21, 2017<\/li>\n<li>Blocks ending in 0, 7, or 8: February 21, 2016 to February 21, 2018<\/li>\n<li>Blocks ending in 1, 2, or 3: February 21, 2017 to February 21, 2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although the inspection cannot be conducted until a building's filing window begins, doing so early in the two-year period gives owners and managers adequate time to properly address any conditions that need to be corrected in order to file a Safe or SWARMP (Safe With a Repair and Maintenance Program) report.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that buildings cannot carry over unsafe or SWARMP conditions from a previous inspection cycle. All such conditions must be addressed before the DOB will accept the filing of a Safe or SWARMP 8<sup>th<\/sup> Cycle report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discounts for Early Sign-up<br \/>\n<\/strong>To help property owners and managers start preparing their building for a safe filing status, RAND is offering early sign-up discounts for buildings in all three filing windows.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like a complimentary proposal for RAND to conduct an 8th Cycle facade inspection for your building and\/or to design and administer 7<sup>th<\/sup> Cycle FISP repairs, please contact us at 212-675-8844 or <a href=\"mailto:&#x66;&#x69;&#x73;&#x70;&#x40;&#x72;&#x61;&#x6e;&#x64;&#x70;&#x63;&#x2e;&#x63;&#x6f;&#x6d;\">&#x46;&#x49;&#x53;&#x50;&#x40;<span class=\"oe_displaynone\">null<\/span>&#x72;&#x61;&#x6e;&#x64;&#x70;&#x63;&#x2e;&#x63;&#x6f;&#x6d;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Facade Inspection Safety Program, please see our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randpc.com\/articles\/exterior-repair-and-maintenance\/fisp-fact-sheet\/\" target=\"_blank\">FISP Fact Sheet<\/a>\u00a0at <a href=\"http:\/\/randpc.com\/articles\/exterior-repair-and-maintenance\/fisp-fact-sheet\/\" target=\"_blank\">fisp.nyc<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to helping your building achieve a Safe filing status.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randpc.com\/rand-profile\/bios\/#Tingir\" target=\"_blank\">Steven Tingir <\/a>is a partner at RAND and head of the firm's Facade &amp; Roofing team.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it may seem that the previous New York City Local Law 11\/98 facade inspection cycle just passed, the new cycle is nearly upon us.
