What is Local Law 11?
Local Law 11 was introduced to address safety concerns arising from deteriorating building exteriors in New York City. This regulation mandates that all buildings taller than six stories undergo periodic inspections of their façades every five years. Any unsafe conditions identified during the inspection must be promptly addressed to prevent hazards such as falling debris, which could endanger pedestrians and residents.
Under the law, buildings are classified into one of three conditions after an inspection:
- Safe: No issues are present.
- Safe with a Repair and Maintenance Program (SWARMP): Repairs are needed, but the issues don’t pose an immediate hazard.
- Unsafe: Urgent action is required to eliminate risks.
Failure to comply with Local Law 11 can result in heavy fines, legal liability, and significant safety risks. AAA NY Contracting Corp specializes in guiding property owners through this process to ensure full compliance and peace of mind.
