A parapet inspection is a professional assessment of the parapet wall (the vertical extension of a building's outer wall above the roofline) to ensure it meets NYC safety standards and Local Law requirements.

What Gets Inspected

Why NYC Requires It

NYC Local Law mandates annual parapet inspections because falling parapets and debris pose serious public safety risks. The 2019 law expansion requires building owners with street-facing parapets to have them inspected annually and keep reports on file by December 31.

The Inspection Process

Our licensed inspectors conduct a thorough visual and hands-on examination, looking for signs of deterioration, structural weakness, or hazards. Reports are delivered in 24–48 hours with recommendations for repairs if needed.
