A parapet wall is the low protective wall at the edge of a rooftop. In NYC, parapet walls are subject to Local Law 11 (FISP) inspection and must be maintained in safe condition.

Question 9

We perform concrete sidewalk repair and replacement, file all required permits, and obtain sign-off from the NYC DOT — handling the full violation removal process.

Question 11

What is a building safety assessment in NYC?

Accepted Answer

A building safety assessment is a comprehensive inspection of your building's exterior, structural components, roof, and critical systems to identify unsafe conditions, DOB violations, and maintenance priorities. Under NYC Local Law 11 (FISP), all buildings taller than 6 stories must undergo facade inspections every 5 years. We provide thorough safety assessments for residential and commercial properties citywide.

Question 12

What is brick pointing and do you do it in NYC?

Accepted Answer

Brick pointing (also called tuckpointing or repointing) is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from joints between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. Over time, mortar erodes due to weather exposure, allowing water penetration and structural damage. We provide professional brick pointing services for brownstones, townhouses, commercial buildings, and high-rises throughout NYC.

Question 13

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle foundation repair for residential and commercial buildings in NYC. Foundation issues are often caused by soil settlement, water infiltration, aging concrete, or nearby excavation. Our foundation repair services include crack sealing, waterproofing, underpinning, and structural reinforcement. Early foundation repair prevents far more costly structural damage — contact us for a free assessment.
