As of 2022, New York City’s Department of Buildings’ new ordinance, Local Law 126 added required periodic inspections of parking structures, thus amending the administrative code of the City of New York and the NYC Building Codes. The ordinance, similar to FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program), will require owners of parking structures to hire a certified QPSI approved by the NYC DOB to inspect parking structures once every six years and file a report with the Department of Buildings documenting the results of the inspection.
Inspections occur in cycles, by Borough and Community District. Owners of parking structures located within Manhattan Community Districts 1 through 7 (see below map) will be required to have parking structures inspected and file the required report with Department of Buildings’ during this cycle.
However, an update by the DOB has amended the law, necessitating an early, one-time initial observation of every parking structure within the city. This observation must be conducted, or at least directly supervised, by a Qualified Parking Structures Inspector (QPSI), with the corresponding report due to the DOB by August 1, 2024.
