A City Where Safety is Paramount
With over 14,000 high-rise buildings shaping its skyline, New York City has one of the most demanding building safety programs in the nation. FISP, also known as the Facade Inspection Safety Program, requires that building owners perform periodic inspections to protect pedestrians and residents. Maintaining FISP compliance in New York City is not just a legal mandate—it is a crucial measure to prevent costly structural failures and life-threatening incidents.
Why FISP Compliance Matters
Statistics reveal that facade-related accidents dropped by nearly 20% since stricter compliance measures were introduced. This demonstrates the importance of timely inspections and repairs. Engineers play a vital role in identifying façade deterioration, from hairline cracks to loose masonry, before these issues escalate into serious hazards.
The Engineer’s Responsibility
Only licensed professionals can file FISP reports, underscoring the critical role engineers play in the process. Their detailed inspections, risk assessments, and compliance documentation provide the foundation for keeping New York City’s buildings safe and legally protected. Without them, achieving FISP compliance in New York City would not be possible.
Balancing Safety and Preservation
Beyond safety, FISP compliance also ensures that New York City’s architectural character is preserved. Engineers work with property owners to implement restoration strategies that balance modern safety requirements with the preservation of historic facades.
