FISP cycle 10 deadlines explained: Sub-Cycles 10A, 10B and 10C
Cycle 10 of the Facade Inspection & Safety Program runs from Feb 21, 2025 to Feb 21, 2030 in three two-year sub-cycles. Which one applies to a building depends on the last digit of its tax block.

Who needs a report
Every building taller than six stories, as counted by the Department of Buildings, needs a facade report signed by a qualified exterior wall inspector (QEWI) once per cycle. The report rates the facade SAFE, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or UNSAFE.
Questions
When is my building's FISP cycle 10 report due?

What happens after the deadline?

Local Law 49 of 2025 allows the Department to set inspection intervals of 6 to 12 years. As of our last check the implementing rule was not published, and industry sources expect the change to apply from cycle 11; the cycle 10 sub-cycles stand.
