Local Law 11, also known as the Façade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP), is a mandatory requirement for buildings over six stories in New York City. Excel General Contracting Inc provides fully compliant LL11 inspections, repairs, and façade restoration services for property owners across the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Westchester.
Our experienced team ensures your building meets all DOB safety standards, preventing violations, fines, and hazardous conditions. Whether you need a full inspection cycle, corrective work, or emergency façade repairs, we deliver reliable and efficient solutions that keep your property safe, secure, and compliant.
Local Law 11 requires building owners to have their building façades inspected and certified by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) every five years. The purpose is to identify unsafe conditions such as:
Loose or deteriorated bricks
Cracked façades
Damaged window sills or lintels
Parapet wall instability
Water infiltration issues
Failing masonry
Unsafe projections, balconies, or decorative elements
All identified hazards must be repaired immediately to maintain public safety and avoid penalties.
