Reminder About Periodic Inspections in 2025
On January 22nd The New York City Department of Buildings Building News reported that “a new year means new upcoming deadlines for property owners to submit their required periodic building inspection reports. These inspections for various building structures and equipment provide assurances to property owners that their properties are in good condition and are the cornerstone of regulations promoting building safety for all New Yorkers.
Depending on the building type, property owners may be required to perform periodic inspections for building elevators, boilers, parapets, facades, retaining walls, parking structures, and gas piping systems. Compliance with these inspection regulations is an important legal responsibility, and property owners that fail to file required inspection reports will face enforcement actions from the Department”.
