What is Local Law 152?

Local Law 152 of 2016 requires building owners in New York City to conduct periodic inspections of exterior walls and appurtenances. This law aims to prevent falling debris hazards and ensure the structural safety of building facades.

Buildings over six stories tall must have their exterior walls inspected by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) every five years. The inspection report must be filed with the NYC Department of Buildings.

Compliance Deadline

Failure to comply with Local Law 152 can result in violations, fines, and potential liability for property damage or injuries caused by falling debris.
