SEVENTH CYCLE LOCAL LAW 11 REMINDER

New York City’s Local Law 11 requires periodic five-year inspections of the facades of buildings taller than six stories. The Sixth Cycle ended February 2007, with mandated repairs to be completed by February, 2008. For the upcoming Seventh Cycle Local Law 11, the city is planning to amend the administrative code, allowing the Department of Buildings to stagger the deadline for owners to file façade inspection reports. Although this change is designed to alleviate some of the last minute push, it may also create uncertainty as to the new scheduling requirements. The sheer number of such buildings in the city always makes it advisable to prepare reports early.
