What Your FISP Filing Status Means

Understanding your building’s façade status—whether SAFE, SWARMP, or UNSAFE—is vital in maintaining its integrity. The FISP report provides a comprehensive insight into the condition of your building’s exterior. Our QEWI certified professional can help you analyze and address your building’s unique façade conditions and assist you in planning necessary actions according to the classification in the report.

The procedures of the FISP program are described in the 1 RCNY §103-04 Chapter 100 Subchapter C Maintenance of Buildings. The NYC DOB also provides a map of filing statuses. 

FISP Report Deadlines

The scheduling of FISP report due dates is directly linked to the last digit of your building’s block number.

Regardless of where your building is in the filing cycle, our consultants are on hand to support you in developing a prioritized action plan, facilitating seamless filings and timely repairs in accordance with the necessary obligations.
