Navigating NYC’s New Parapet Inspection Law: Why ProRealty Property Management Is Your Best Partner
In the ever-evolving landscape of New York City real estate, staying compliant with the latest regulations is crucial for property owners and managers. The city’s new parapet inspection law is a prime example of the importance of proactive property management. At ProRealty Property Management, we’re here to help you navigate these changes seamlessly and ensure your building’s safety and compliance.
What Is the New NYC Parapet Inspection Law?
In response to increasing concerns about building safety, New York City has introduced a new regulation specifically targeting parapets—the low protective walls along the edge of roofs, balconies, and terraces. These structures, often exposed to harsh weather and time, are critical for pedestrian and resident safety.
Under the updated Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP), Local Law 11 now mandates:
- Mandatory Parapet Inspections: Property owners must ensure parapets are inspected by qualified professionals at regular intervals.
- Enhanced Documentation: Comprehensive reports must be submitted, detailing the condition of the parapets and any required repairs.
- Stricter Deadlines: Timelines for inspection, reporting, and completing necessary repairs have been tightened to ensure timely compliance.
Failing to meet these requirements can lead to significant penalties, safety risks, and even litigation.

Staying on top of inspections, reports, and repairs can be overwhelming, especially with multiple properties or complex building layouts. The new law adds another layer of responsibility to property management, making it more critical than ever to have a reliable partner to handle the details.
