What is a parapet inspection and why is it required?

A parapet inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the exterior walls extending above a building's roofline. NYC Local Law 126 requires these inspections every 5 years to identify potential hazards, structural deterioration, or safety issues. The inspection helps prevent falling debris, ensures structural integrity, and protects public safety.

How often should parapets be inspected?

Under NYC Local Law 126, parapets must be inspected every 5 years. Buildings in certain categories may require more frequent inspections based on their condition, age, or previous findings. Our team will assess your building and advise on the appropriate inspection schedule to maintain compliance.

What documentation is provided after inspection?

You'll receive a comprehensive inspection report that includes detailed findings, high-resolution photographs, condition ratings for each parapet section, a summary of code compliance, and specific recommendations for any necessary repairs. Our reports are formatted to meet all NYC DOB filing requirements.

How do you ensure Local Law 126 compliance?

Our inspectors are fully certified and follow strict NYC DOB guidelines. We conduct thorough visual examinations, structural assessments, and detailed documentation. Every report is reviewed by licensed professionals before submission to ensure it meets all Local Law 126 requirements and standards.

What areas of a parapet are evaluated most?

We thoroughly examine all parapet components including: masonry condition and mortar joints, coping stones and caps, structural stability and anchoring, water drainage systems, surface cracks or deterioration, and connections to the roof assembly. Any safety hazards or code violations are documented and prioritized.

Can you assist with remediation after inspection?

Yes! While we maintain independence as inspectors, we can recommend qualified contractors and provide guidance on repair priorities. We'll work with you to understand the findings, explain required repairs, and help coordinate remediation efforts to achieve full compliance efficiently.
