WHAT IS LOCAL LAW 126?
New York City Local Law 126 requires periodic parapet inspections for buildings with parapets facing public right-of-way areas such as sidewalks, streets, or pedestrian spaces.
The law was created to improve public safety by identifying deteriorating or unsafe parapet conditions before they become hazardous.
Many property owners are unsure:
-
Whether their building qualifies
-
What inspectors are looking for
-
What documentation is required
-
How to avoid violations or penalties
Our process is designed to simplify compliance while ensuring your building receives a thorough and professional inspection.
WHAT IS A PARAPET?
A parapet is the extension of a wall above a roofline, terrace, or edge of a building. Over time, parapets can deteriorate due to:
-
Weather exposure
-
Water infiltration
-
Freeze-thaw cycles
-
Structural movement
-
Aging masonry
If left unaddressed, unsafe parapet conditions can create serious risks to pedestrians and adjacent property.
Local Law 126 inspections help identify these issues early before they become dangerous or expensive.
