NYC Local Law 11 / FISP

What Is Local Law 11 & Why Does Your Building Need It?

Local Law 11 — officially the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) — requires owners of NYC buildings taller than 6 stories to have their exterior facades professionally inspected by a QEWI (Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector) every 5 years. The law was enacted after falling facade debris caused serious injuries on NYC sidewalks.

MUX Construction is a NYC Local Law 11 / FISP repair contractor providing FISP repair coordination, SWARMP repairs, UNSAFE condition remediation, and QEWI coordination across all five boroughs. MUX handles all required facade repair work — your QEWI engineer handles the official inspection and TR6 filing. Based in Brooklyn. Same-day response for emergency UNSAFE findings.

Understanding Your FISP Status — SAFE, SWARMP & UNSAFE

Every NYC Local Law 11 inspection results in one of three findings. Here's what each means and what action is required.

StatusWhat It MeansAction RequiredTimeline
✓ SAFE Facade is in good condition. No repairs needed at this time. No action required. Next inspection in 5 years. Next FISP cycle
⚠ SWARMP Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program. Conditions are currently safe but deteriorating and require repair. Repairs must be completed and documented before the next FISP filing. Ignored SWARMP findings escalate to UNSAFE. Within current cycle
✕ UNSAFE Facade poses an immediate danger to pedestrians. DOB requires immediate action. Sidewalk shed or scaffolding must be installed immediately. Repairs must begin with DOB oversight. Daily fines for non-compliance. Immediately

Our Services

Local Law 11 Services NYC

SWARMP Repair Coordination

SWARMP findings documented in your FISP report must be repaired before the next cycle. MUX handles all required facade repairs — brick repointing, crack repair, facade restoration, and structural work — with full documentation for your engineer and TR6 filing.

UNSAFE Condition Emergency Repairs

An UNSAFE finding requires immediate response. MUX Construction provides emergency facade repairs for UNSAFE LL11 findings across all five NYC boroughs. We coordinate sidewalk shed installation, perform required repairs, and provide documentation for DOB sign-off.

TR6 Report Repair Coordination

Your QEWI engineer files the TR6 technical report — MUX Construction handles all required repair work and coordinates directly with your engineer for repair documentation, sign-off, and final TR6 completion.

Brick Repointing & Mortar Repair

Failed mortar joints and spalling brick are the most common SWARMP and UNSAFE findings on NYC facades. MUX provides expert repointing, tuckpointing, and mortar restoration to address LL11 facade requirements.

Facade Crack & Spalling Repair

Cracks, spalling concrete, and deteriorating masonry on building facades are primary LL11 inspection findings. MUX repairs facade cracks, replaces spalling brick, and restores deteriorated exterior surfaces across all building types.

Parapet Wall Repair

Parapet walls are among the most commonly cited areas in FISP inspections. MUX Construction provides parapet wall structural repair, coping replacement, waterproofing, and full LL11 documentation for parapet findings.

Why It Matters

What Happens If You Ignore a Local Law 11 Finding

!
Daily DOB Fines

UNSAFE findings that are not addressed result in escalating daily fines from the NYC DOB. These fines compound quickly and can reach thousands of dollars per day.

!
SWARMP Escalates to UNSAFE

Ignored SWARMP findings don't stay SWARMP. At the next inspection, unaddressed SWARMP conditions are typically upgraded to UNSAFE — triggering immediate action requirements and higher repair costs.

!
Liability Exposure

Building owners are legally liable for injuries caused by falling facade debris. An unaddressed LL11 finding creates serious liability exposure for property owners and boards.

!
Sidewalk Shed Costs

UNSAFE buildings must install sidewalk sheds while repairs are underway. Sidewalk sheds are expensive to install and maintain — completing repairs quickly minimizes shed rental costs.

FAQ

Local Law 11 NYC — Frequently Asked Questions

What is NYC Local Law 11 (FISP)?+
Local Law 11 — officially the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) — requires owners of buildings taller than 6 stories in NYC to have their exterior facades professionally inspected every 5 years. Buildings found UNSAFE must be repaired immediately with a sidewalk shed installed until work is complete.
What is a SWARMP finding under Local Law 11?+
SWARMP stands for Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program. It means facade conditions are currently safe but require repair within the next inspection cycle. SWARMP findings must be addressed before the next FISP filing — or they escalate to UNSAFE status, triggering immediate action requirements.
What is a TR6 report and how does MUX help with it?+
A TR6 is the technical report filed with the NYC DOB documenting the results of a Local Law 11 facade inspection. MUX Construction coordinates directly with your QEWI (Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector) engineer for TR6 report preparation, repair coordination, and final sign-off documentation.
What happens if my building gets an UNSAFE Local Law 11 rating?+
An UNSAFE finding requires immediate action. The building must be secured — typically with a sidewalk shed or scaffolding — and all required repairs completed within a DOB-mandated timeframe. Failure to comply results in escalating daily fines. MUX Construction provides emergency UNSAFE repair services with same-day response.
How often do NYC buildings need Local Law 11 inspections?+
NYC Local Law 11 / FISP inspections are required every 5 years for buildings taller than 6 stories. The current cycle is Cycle 10, with sub-cycles 10A, 10B, and 10C — each with different deadlines based on your building's block number. Contact MUX to confirm your building's current cycle deadline.
What is the difference between FISP SAFE, SWARMP, and UNSAFE?+
SAFE means no repairs are needed. SWARMP (Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program) means repairs are required within the cycle. UNSAFE means the facade poses an immediate danger — repairs must begin immediately and a sidewalk shed must be installed. MUX handles all three categories.
Do you handle Local Law 11 repairs across all five NYC boroughs?+
Yes. MUX Construction provides Local Law 11 facade inspection support and required repairs across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Based in Brooklyn at 2104 E 65th St — same-day response for UNSAFE findings.
