Starting January 1, 2024, nearly all parapets in New York City must be inspected annually by December 31 of each year and an observation report kept on file for at least six years.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

As state and city regulations continually adapt to maintain the safety and integrity of our buildings, residents, and the public at large, staying up to date with upcoming deadlines and the latest periodic safety inspection requirements can seem like a daunting task. To help you effectively navigate these evolving regulations and maintain your properties in a secure and compliant state, let's take a closer look at the key updates and significant deadlines scheduled for 2024:<\/p>\n

Upcoming NYC Inspection Deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parapets (new)<\/strong>:\u00a0Starting January 1, 2024, annual parapet inspections are now required by building owners in New York City. The first compliance deadline is December 31, 2024. Read our\u00a0Fact Sheet<\/a>\u00a0and download our Parapet Inspection Checklist.<\/p>\n

Facades<\/strong>:\u00a0For buildings exceeding six stories with block numbers ending in 1, 2 , or 3,\u00a0Facade Inspection Safety Program<\/a> (FISP) sub-cycle 9C reports are due February 21, 2024. The required comprehensive hands-on inspections and probes can be performed by various methods including, motorized scaffolds, boom trucks, and other methods, and can be enhanced with an aerial drone survey<\/a>. Schedule your inspection today to avoid prevent the accumulation of additional $1,000\/month late filing penalties.<\/p>\n

Parking Garages (new)<\/strong>:\u00a0Owners of parking structures in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island - sub-cycles 1B and 1C - must have an initial\u00a0inspection<\/a>\u00a0performed by or under the supervision of a\u00a0Qualified Parking Structure Inspector<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>(QPSI) and a report filed by August 1, 2024. This additional requirement is in addition to their first sub-cycle inspection mandate. Late filing penalties are $1,000\/month. Schedule your inspection early this year to avoid missing the deadline.<\/p>\n

Retaining Walls<\/strong>:\u00a0Property owners must have retaining walls facing a public right-of-way that exceed a height of ten feet\u00a0inspected<\/a>\u00a0every five years. The deadline to file for Bronx properties is December 31, 2024.<\/p>\n

Gas Piping Systems<\/strong>:\u00a0With the exception of one- and two-family homes and other Occupancy Group R-3 buildings, all NYC buildings are\u00a0required\u00a0to have their gas piping systems\u00a0inspected<\/a>\u00a0by a Licensed Master Plumber at least once every four years. Inspections must be performed and submitted by December 31, 2024 for buildings in Community Districts 1, 3, and 10 in all boroughs.<\/p>\n

Boilers<\/strong>:\u00a0Annual\u00a0inspections<\/a>\u00a0of low- and high-pressure boilers are due December 31, 2024. To help minimize breakdowns and service interruptions, see our\u00a0Boiler Maintenance Checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elevators<\/strong>: Building elevators must undergo semi-annual\u00a0inspections and testing<\/a>\u00a0conducted by an approved elevator agency by December 31, 2024.<\/p>\n
