NYC Local Law 11 Inspections - Cycle 7

NYC Local Law 11 Cycle 7 inspections will begin Tuesday, January 17, 2012 and continue into February. Unlike past inspections that required the erection of suspended scaffolding, the contractor, Hobo Construction, will deploy a Genie Z135 articulating telescopic mobile boom (select the Building Alerts menu for illustrations) to increase the rate and lessen the time needed to perform these inspections. We expect that this project will be minimally disruptive but will likely require the diversion of some pedestrian and vehicle traffic as the inspections take place. Parking may be restricted in certain areas as well.

These inspections are mandated for all buildings in the city over six stories in height in 5 year cycles. An engineer will be surveying the buildings for anything that could fall from the building including but not limited to the parapet, window lintels, decorative structures, façade and air conditioner installations. Suspended scaffolding may be required to make the necessary repairs.

Listed below is a schedule of buildings to be inspected using the Genie Z135. Expect diversions of pedestrian and vehicle traffic adjacent to the builidngs being inspected as well as the possibility of parking restrictions.
