FISP is not a form.
It's a liability you can't afford to miss.

Every NYC building over six stories is on the clock. Miss your Cycle 10 sub-cycle window and DOB fines pile up at $1,000+ per month — on top of unsafe conditions you're now legally obligated to fix. A good inspection team doesn't just file. It keeps you out of court.

Why this matters

The cost of missing
a FISP filing.

DOB fines compound monthly. Unsafe conditions trigger mandatory public protection. Insurance carriers ask about your FISP status before renewal. This is not a checkbox — it's exposure.

How we work

Four stages.
One report. Zero fines.

A QEWI-led process built around the Cycle 10 deadline. Every step is documented, every stage reviewed by a licensed PE, every filing submitted through DOB NOW.

Stage 01
Preliminary assessment

Walk-through and documentation review. We identify your sub-cycle window, review the last FISP report, and flag conditions that will need closer inspection. You get a clear scope before signing anything.

Week 1
Stage 02
QEWI inspection

Full close-up inspection of every facade. Drop scaffold, hands-on probing, photographic documentation. Led by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector as required by Local Law 11 / §28-302.

Weeks 2–4
Stage 03
TR6 report & filing

PE-stamped report with classification (Safe / SWARMP / Unsafe), condition log, and repair plan. Filed through DOB NOW before your sub-cycle deadline. Owner's copy delivered with full evidence.

Week 5
Stage 04
Repair plan & follow-through

If classified SWARMP or Unsafe, we scope the repair, coordinate contractor bids, and file the follow-up amendment once conditions are resolved. You stay in compliance from filing to close-out.

Cycle 10 is underway

Do you know your
sub-cycle deadline?

Cycle 10 runs on three overlapping sub-cycles (10A, 10B, 10C) based on your building's BIN. Miss yours and fines start the month after. Most property managers don't know their exact window until DOB sends the violation.

FAQ

What property managers
ask before signing.

Which buildings are required to file under FISP?

Any NYC building more than six stories tall, regardless of use (residential, commercial, mixed-use). This is NYC Admin Code §28-302, also known as Local Law 11. Filings are required every five years on a staggered schedule.

How do I know my Cycle 10 sub-cycle deadline?

Your sub-cycle (10A, 10B, or 10C) is determined by the last digit of your BIN. Send us your address and we'll confirm your exact window within 24 hours at no cost.

Who actually signs the report — ARCONDES NYC or an engineer?

Every report is signed and stamped by David Salamon, PE, a licensed Professional Engineer in New York State. ARCONDES NYC is the management firm that coordinates the project, handles communication, and manages the inspection schedule. This is stated explicitly on every deliverable.

What's the difference between Safe, SWARMP, and Unsafe?

Safe means no active defects. SWARMP (Safe With a Repair and Maintenance Program) means conditions exist but aren't imminent hazards — you have a scheduled period to repair. Unsafe means immediate public protection is required and repair must start now. Classification is a professional judgment by the PE of record based on §28-302 criteria.

What happens if we miss a deadline?

DOB fines begin at $1,000 and can escalate to $5,000 per violation, with a recurring $1,000 per month until the filing is cured. You also lose the ability to qualify for certain DOB NOW programs and insurance carriers may flag the property. The cost of missing a deadline is almost always higher than the inspection itself.

Do you handle the repair work yourselves?

We do not perform facade repair ourselves. We scope the work, prepare the bid documents, coordinate competitive bids from licensed contractors, and supervise the repair until amendment close-out. This keeps your interests and the inspection work independent from the contractor's.

How long does a typical filing take?

Preliminary assessment to TR6 filing runs four to six weeks for a standard building, assuming straightforward scaffold access. Complex buildings, weather delays, or SWARMP/Unsafe conditions extend this. We back-schedule every project from your sub-cycle deadline.

Can you work with buildings outside Manhattan?

Yes. We cover all five boroughs — Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island. Most of our Cycle 9 work was in Queens and Manhattan; we are actively expanding into Brooklyn and the Bronx for Cycle 10.
