FISP cycle 10 filing status: open and filed buildings by sub-cycle and borough
As of the DOB data of Oct 18, 2026, 14,263 buildings on the Department of Buildings' facade list have no cycle 10 report on file. This page splits them by sub-cycle, borough, height and priority. Every table is recomputed from public DOB data with each weekly update, and a daily check of new filings runs in between.
Open buildings by sub-cycle and borough
Open means: the building is on the DOB list for this sub-cycle and no cycle 10 initial report is on file in the DOB data as of Oct 18, 2026.
| Sub-cycle | Manhattan | Brooklyn | Bronx | Queens | Staten Island | All boroughs | Report due |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-Cycle 10A | 2,462 | 760 | 827 | 645 | 33 | 4,727 | Feb 21, 2027 |
| Sub-Cycle 10B | 2,441 | 781 | 771 | 621 | 29 | 4,643 | Feb 21, 2028 |
| Sub-Cycle 10C | 2,591 | 766 | 797 | 682 | 57 | 4,893 | Feb 21, 2029 |
| All open | 7,494 | 2,307 | 2,395 | 1,948 | 119 | 14,263 |
Manhattan holds 53% of all open buildings. The other four boroughs together still have 6,769 open buildings. Each borough has its own page with the open Sub-Cycle 10B buildings and a free sample:
How much of each sub-cycle has filed
On the DOB list = buildings with a cycle 10 duty in the sub-cycle. Report filed = a cycle 10 initial report is on file as of Oct 18, 2026.
| Sub-cycle | On the DOB list | Report filed | Share filed | No report yet | Filed since, daily check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-Cycle 10A | 6,536 | 1,809 | 27.7% | 4,727 | 24 |
| Sub-Cycle 10B | 5,279 | 636 | 12.0% | 4,643 | 3 |
| Sub-Cycle 10C | 5,313 | 420 | 7.9% | 4,893 | 0 |
| All of cycle 10 | 17,128 | 2,865 | 16.7% | 14,263 | 27 |
Our daily check of the DOB filings after the Oct 18, 2026 data has so far found 27 more open buildings with a cycle 10 report (24 in 10A, 3 in 10B; latest filing date Oct 22, 2026). They stay in the tables above until the next weekly update, marked as filed in the list.
Sub-Cycle 10A, due Feb 21, 2027, has filed 27.7% so far. That fits what happened last cycle: in cycle 9, 51% of first reports were filed in the last six months before the deadline and 28% after it (track record). Sub-Cycle 10B has filed 12.0%, Sub-Cycle 10C 7.9%. How the three sub-cycles and their windows work is explained in our cycle 10 deadline guide.
How tall the open buildings are
Stories are the higher of two sources: PLUTO (the city's tax lot data) and the DOB's own job filings.
| Stories (higher of PLUTO and DOB) | 10A | 10B | 10C | All open | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 or fewer (on the DOB list anyway) | 1,340 | 1,246 | 1,214 | 3,800 | 27% |
| 7 to 9 | 1,338 | 1,335 | 1,452 | 4,125 | 29% |
| 10 to 19 | 1,385 | 1,450 | 1,466 | 4,301 | 30% |
| 20 or more | 623 | 576 | 717 | 1,916 | 13% |
| not given in either source | 41 | 36 | 44 | 121 | 1% |
| All open | 4,727 | 4,643 | 4,893 | 14,263 | 100% |
3,800 open buildings show six stories or fewer in both sources. They are on the DOB's FISP list all the same (the sources count setbacks, cellars and several buildings on one lot differently), so we keep them and show both counts on the building sheet. 1,916 open buildings have 20 stories or more; 80% of them are in Manhattan. For 121 buildings neither source gives a story count.
Priority A, B and C
The priority ranks how likely a building is to hire a new inspection firm this cycle. It is computed from the prior firm and the cycle 9 record, and the reason is written on every row of the list.
| Priority | 10A | 10B | 10C | All open | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A · prior firm had 4 buildings or fewer in cycle 9, or has filed no cycle 10 report yet | 235 | 207 | 229 | 671 | 5% |
| B · prior firm with 5 to 19 buildings, or UNSAFE in cycle 9 | 343 | 331 | 426 | 1,100 | 8% |
| C · the rest: no cycle 9 report, public owners, demolition flag | 4,149 | 4,105 | 4,238 | 12,492 | 88% |
| All open | 4,727 | 4,643 | 4,893 | 14,263 | 100% |
Non-profit owners are B at most; public owners (NYCHA, city, state) are C because they buy inspections through procurement. Applied to cycle 8 data, priority A buildings changed firm in 82% of cases and priority C buildings in 50%. Late filing and SWARMP did not predict a change, so they appear as notes, not as a priority. The full rule and its limits are on our data and method page.
What an inspection firm can read from these tables
Where the work is now. Sub-Cycle 10A is due first, and 4,727 of its buildings have no report yet; 235 of them are priority A. After Feb 21, 2027 every open 10A building is a late filer, and the owner is liable for $5,000 per year for failure to file plus $1,000 per month for late filing until an acceptable report is filed (FISP penalties). Sub-Cycle 10B is earlier in its window: most owners have not filed, and many likely choose a firm now.
Where the competition is. 349 firms signed cycle 9 reports, and between cycles 8 and 9 54-61% of buildings changed firm. Manhattan has the most open buildings and most of the tall ones. The market is open in every borough: any firm can bid for these buildings, and any firm can subscribe to this list.
Which buildings to call first. Priority A (671 buildings) and B (1,100) together are where a change of firm is most likely. The 12,492 priority C buildings are not closed to you, but they include public owners, buildings without a cycle 9 report and flagged demolitions.
What FISP Radar gives you, and what it does not
The tables on this page are free and show counts only. The list behind them has every open building with its due date, cycle 8 and 9 history, prior inspection firm, owner entity and managing agent as filed with the DOB and HPD, updated every week. It has no personal data: no names, phone numbers or e-mail addresses of individuals. It is not exclusive (any firm can subscribe, including the ones you bid against), it does not tell you which firm an owner has already hired before a report is filed, and it does not monitor buildings for owners. Buildings rated SWARMP or UNSAFE last cycle have their own page: SWARMP and UNSAFE facades with no cycle 10 report.
Questions about the cycle 10 filing status
Where does the FISP cycle 10 filing status come from?
From public NYC Department of Buildings data: the DOB facade filing status list and the DOB NOW facade compliance filings on NYC Open Data. A building counts as open when it is on the DOB list for a cycle 10 sub-cycle and has no cycle 10 initial report on file. We recompute the tables with every weekly data run and check the filings once a day in between.
Which sub-cycle is due first?
Sub-Cycle 10A, with reports due Feb 21, 2027. Sub-Cycle 10B is due Feb 21, 2028 and Sub-Cycle 10C Feb 21, 2029. The last digit of the tax block decides the sub-cycle: 4, 5, 6 or 9 is 10A, 0, 7 or 8 is 10B, 1, 2 or 3 is 10C (1 RCNY 103-04).
Why are some open buildings shown with six stories or fewer?
FISP applies to buildings taller than six stories as counted by the DOB. The city's tax lot data (PLUTO) and the DOB's job filings count stories differently, so some buildings on the DOB list show six or fewer in both sources. The DOB keeps them on its list, and so do we; verify the height in DOB NOW before you quote.
What do priorities A, B and C mean?
They rank how likely a building is to hire a new inspection firm. A: the prior firm had 4 buildings or fewer in cycle 9, or has filed no cycle 10 report yet. B: prior firm with 5 to 19 buildings, or UNSAFE in cycle 9. C: everything else, including buildings without a cycle 9 report, public owners and buildings with a demolition flag.
