Parapet Inspection Frequently Asked Questions

What is a parapet wall?

A parapet wall is generally defined as the perimeter wall above the roof line of a building primarily found on flat roofs.

This rule is applicable to all buildings located within New York City, regardless of their height, as long as they have parapets that are visible from the public right-of-way. However, detached 1 or 2 family homes and buildings equipped with barriers that prevent public access to the exterior wall are exempt from this requirement.

NYC has enacted Local Law 126 which applies to all  buildings up to 6 Stories which adjoin a sidewalk, roadway or any other public space. This is to protect  public safety by identifying  items that are in danger of detaching which could cause harm to those below.

Building Attachments: This includes items such as fire escapes, cornices, chimneys, ornamental attachments, railings, etc.

Facade: This includes the condition of masonry or any other siding material in terms of its observed structural condition.

We offer a $350 flat rate for parapet inspections, ensuring consistency and transparency in pricing. If you need a parapet inspection for multiple buildings, we can provide a custom proposal with discounted rates based on the number of buildings and locations involved.
