What DOB wants in the report.

One drop per 60 ft

At least one close-up inspection for every 60 ft of facade facing a public street: 2 for 60 to 120 ft, 3 for 120 to 180 ft, and so on.

Every street facade

The close-up drops are spread along each elevation that fronts the public right of way, shown on the plot plan.

Every condition mapped

Each condition is described, classified and mapped on key plans and elevations, with labeled close-up photos.

A real final walk-around

The QEWI does a final physical examination of the building before filing. A drive-by is not accepted.

Unsafe: act the same day

Call 311 (911 if the danger is immediate), notify the owner, put up protection and file a FISP-3 in DOB NOW.

Owner record must match

Owner details on the filing must match the Department of Finance record, or DOB returns it as incomplete.

Cycle 10 questions, answered.

All questions →
Which sub-cycle is my building in?

It depends on the last digit of your tax block number: 4, 5, 6 or 9 is 10A, 0, 7 or 8 is 10B, and 1, 2 or 3 is 10C. Type your address in our building lookup.

When does each window close?

10A on February 21, 2027, 10B on February 21, 2028 and 10C on February 21, 2029. A report filed after the window closes is late.

My building is new. Does it file in cycle 10?

A building joins FISP five years after its first Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (or the final CO if there was no TCO). The cutoffs are February 21, 2020 for 10A, 2021 for 10B and 2022 for 10C.

What happens if the report finds an Unsafe condition?

Protection goes up right away, usually a sidewalk shed, and stays until repairs are done and an amended report is accepted. An amended report can be filed at any time.

Can the close-up inspection be done from a boom lift?

Yes. Inspectors on our jobs do their close-up work from the 12 ft basket, moving drop to drop without rigging a scaffold. The QEWI decides the method and files the report.

Where do these dates come from?

From the NYC Department of Buildings FISP schedule and rules (1 RCNY 103-04). Check your filing status on DOB NOW before you plan the work.

Book your lift. We handle the rest.
