Comply with New York City's New Parapet Rule for Less with BrownstoneWorks

What's a Parapet and Does Mine Need Inspection?

A parapet is any portion of a wall extending above a roof.  Beginning January 1, 2024, New York City building owners must undertake a yearly parapet inspection and then remedy any hazardous conditions. Like most any building feature, parapets can deteriorate over time, creating a hazard and liability for passersby and for the building owner.

NYC’s required Parapet Inspections just got cheaper!  Brownstone Compliance researched the best options for this work and found fees ranging up to $2,000. We can help you do better. For only $895, Brownstone’s expert team will provide your parapet inspections and reporting.

Why Should I Care?

On multiple occasions, pedestrians have been killed by debris falling from buildings. The new Parapet Rule (Local Law 126) aims to protect the public by requiring observations of parapets by qualified professionals capable of identifying dangerous conditions.

The Rule requires building owners to hire a qualified professional such as the BrownstoneWorks team, capable of identifying hazards to inspect building parapets and identify any dangerous conditions.  The parapet observation requirement applies to all buildings fronting a right-of-way, regardless of height, except for detached 1- or 2-family homes. Building Owners do not need to submit these reports to the DOB, but need to retain them for at least six years and provide them to the DOB if requested.
