  2. The Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), also known as Local Law 11, is a program that mandates regular inspections of building exteriors that are over six stories in New York City which includes Queens as well. The law aims to make sure that the public is under complete safety by identifying and rectifying facade defects. If the building doesn’t come under compliance or has improper repairs done, it can result in violations, fines, and other safety hazards. General contractors play a very important role in addressing these issues effectively. In this article, we will be looking at some of the common violations under Local Law 11 and how professional general contractors rectify them. Some of the common violations that come under Local Law 11 are:

  3. 1. Cracked or Missing Masonry Over time, weather conditions over a prolonged period of time can cause cracks in brickwork or missing masonry pieces. These defects have the risk of debris falling onto pedestrians. 2. Defective Window Seals and Frames Faulty window seals or corroded frames can damage the building’s appearance as well as its structural integrity. 3. Loose or Damaged Cornices

  4. Cornices often face deterioration due to exposure to elements. Loose pieces tend to be a significant safety concern. 4. Water Damage and Efflorescence Prolonged exposure to moisture leads to water damage, discoloration, and efflorescence on facades. 5. Improper Previous Repairs Repairs that were done previously that fail to meet safety standards or aesthetics can result in violations.

  5. How contractors Rectify These Violations: 1. Thorough Inspections and Assessments Contractors begin by conducting comprehensive facade inspections to identify violations and what caused these violations. 2. Restoration of Masonry Work Addressing cracked or missing masonry requires great skill and involves precise techniques like tuckpointing or brick replacements. Contractors use durable materials to restore function as well as the visual appeal.

  6. 3. Window and Frame Repairs Contractors replace the damaged seals, frames, and panes to resolve the window-related violations. Energy-efficient windows are usually recommended to enhance long-term performance. 4. Reinforcing Cornices Loose or damaged cornices are replaced with materials that are designed in such a way that they can withstand harsh weather. 5. Waterproofing Solutions

  7. To help fight against water damage, contractors apply sealants and waterproof coatings. These help prevent future moisture penetration which in-turn protects the facade from deterioration.
