Ensuring compliance with New York City’s parapet regulations is essential for avoiding fines, maintaining structural integrity, and protecting public safety. At Parapet Pros, we assist property owners in identifying and resolving common parapet violations to help them stay compliant with local laws.

Common Parapet Violations and Their Consequences

Failure to Conduct Regular Inspections

Non-compliance with NYC Local Law 11 (FISP) and Local Law 126 can result in DOB violations and fines. Uninspected parapets pose safety hazards, increasing liability risks for property owners.

Structural Deterioration and Safety Hazards

Loose masonry, missing mortar joints, and cracks are leading causes of violations. DOB-mandated repairs must be performed promptly to avoid escalation to unsafe conditions.

Inadequate Waterproofing and Drainage

Poorly maintained flashing and waterproof coatings lead to water infiltration and damage. DOB may issue violations if water damage compromises structural integrity.
