What inspection firms ask us

From NYC Open Data: the "DOB NOW: Safety – Facades Compliance Filings" dataset (every facade report since cycle 6 with inspection firm, status and filing dates) and the Department of Buildings' facade filing status list, which marks every building in each sub-cycle as filed or "No Report Filed" and carries coordinates. The managing agent comes from the HPD registration contacts (company name only), floors, year built and units from PLUTO. We rerun everything weekly and show the data date on every list.

The DOB map is good, and we link to it. It shows which buildings have no report in cycle 10 and the owner of record. It does not show the inspection firm from the last cycle and how many buildings that firm has, the cycle 8 and 9 history, whether the building filed late, the managing agent, floors, a priority, what changed since last week, filters by neighborhood or radius, a status tracker for your team, CSV or calendar exports, or an e-mail when something changes.

In short: the map tells you which buildings are open; the list tells you which ones are worth a call this week, and why.

The Regents' rules on unprofessional conduct (8 NYCRR Part 29) permit advertising that is not misleading and prohibit paying for referrals and splitting fees. FISP Radar is a flat-price subscription to public data: there is no fee per lead, no commission on engagements, and we do not introduce you to specific owners or recommend you to them. How you contact owners remains your decision and responsibility. This is our reading, not legal advice.

No. FISP Radar lists only buildings before their cycle 10 inspection – buildings without a cycle 10 report on file. Our sister product Facade Repair Radar serves facade contractors and lists only buildings after a filed SWARMP or UNSAFE report with no visible repair work. The two lists never overlap: a building leaves FISP Radar when its cycle 10 report is filed and can only then appear on Facade Repair Radar. There, the inspection firm that filed the report is named as the first contact for the repairs. We take no commissions or referral fees from either side.

Company details, yes: the managing agent's office line, general mailbox, website and office address where we could check them on the firm's own website, the owner entity's business address from DOB and HPD filings for nearly all company-owned buildings, and direct links to DOB, HPD Online, ACRIS and the New York State company search. No personal data: we only prepare public company data from government records, so names, e-mail addresses and direct numbers of people are not included. You find the right person yourself through those links.

Yes. Up to 10 colleagues are included. Each gets a personal login link and sees the same buildings, statuses and notes; buildings can be assigned to a person ("My buildings"), and the history in each building sheet shows who changed what. The subscription owner adds and removes members on the account page, and a removed link stops working at once.

By the Department of Buildings' own rule in 1 RCNY 103-04: the last digit of the tax block number assigns the sub-cycle (4, 5, 6, 9 = A; 0, 7, 8 = B; 1, 2, 3 = C). We checked the rule against the sub-cycle letter in 71,486 filing numbers: 99.3% agreement; the rest are mostly block corrections. Due dates are quoted from the DOB. Please verify every building in DOB NOW before you act; the data is informational.

Local Law 49 of 2025 (enacted April 17, 2025) allows the Department to set inspection intervals of 6 to 12 years instead of the fixed five-year cycle, and gives new buildings eight years before their first report. As of our last check the Department had not published the implementing rule, and industry sources expect the change to apply from cycle 11 (from 2030). The cycle 10 sub-cycles and their due dates stand in the DOB's current guidance. If the rules change, we update the list and tell subscribers.

In the online list: a status for every building (contacted, proposal sent, won, lost), notes, the team member who owns it and a follow-up date with a short note on what to do. On that date we e-mail a reminder to the subscription's main address, and the follow-up filter shows what is due. Saved views keep your territory one click away; the list exports to CSV and your deadlines to a calendar file.

No. We show owner entities and managing agent companies with company contact details, not people. Buildings owned by individuals appear as "Individual owner" without a name (about 2% of buildings), inspector names are replaced by the firm, and HPD head officers are not included. Inspection firms are shown at company level; sole practitioners appear under the business name they file under. Owner business addresses that carry an apartment number are left out. Any company can ask to be removed from our public samples at hello@fispradar.com.

Weekly. The Department of Buildings updates its filing data continuously; we rerun the comparison every week, mark buildings that filed since the last run (and who signed), add buildings that became open, and e-mail you when something in your package changed. Subscribers also receive a monthly summary.

Open = no cycle 10 report on file. A building that falls into the sub-cycle and has no cycle 10 initial report in the DOB data as of our last run counts as open. This includes buildings without a cycle 9 report (status NONE, about one in five), which you can filter out with the "Cycle 9 status" filter; they are rated priority C, as are buildings of public owners (NYCHA, city, state), which award inspections through procurement. Non-profit owners are marked and rated B at most. Buildings that file move to "filed" but stay visible in your list, so you see who they hired.

Yes, as part of the annual plan: it covers every open 10C building today, together with 10A and 10B. The 10C cycle pass on its own goes on sale on Feb 21, 2027, when the 10C filing window opens, and runs until March 31, 2029. Many owners likely choose before the window opens; the buildings, their cycle 9 history and firms of record are known today.

Manhattan holds about half of the open buildings and most firms work across boroughs. Borough packages would only split the price; the borough and radius filters are included in every package.

E-mail us within 30 days of purchase and we refund the full amount, no questions asked. Cycle passes end automatically on their end date and do not renew. The annual subscription renews after 12 months; you can switch renewal off at any time before the renewal date.
