The Parapet Rule, outlined in Section 28-301.1.1 of the New York City Administrative Code, was introduced through Local Law 126 of 2021. This regulation mandates the regular inspection and maintenance of building parapets to ensure the safety and structural integrity of New York City’s buildings. Building owners are now required to comply with stricter inspection protocols, documentation, and timely repairs.
At Thompson Exterior Services, we specialize in providing comprehensive services to help property owners and managers meet these requirements efficiently and cost-effectively.
What Is the Parapet Rule?
Under Local Law 126, the Parapet Rule requires:
- Inspection of Parapets: Licensed professionals must inspect parapets as part of periodic façade inspections, particularly for buildings over six stories.
- Condition Reporting: Detailed reports on the condition of parapets must be submitted, highlighting any unsafe conditions or areas needing attention.
- Prompt Repairs: Building owners must address unsafe conditions within a specific timeframe and provide evidence of remediation.
This regulation seeks to mitigate risks associated with falling debris, structural failures, and other hazards, ensuring a safer environment for residents and pedestrians.
