Local Law 126 is a mandatory inspection program enacted by the NYC DOB to ensure parapet walls, decks, open garages, and other exposed structural elements of buildings are safely maintained. Buildings in NYC must engage a qualified professional to assess and report conditions within defined cycles, helping prevent falling debris and structural failures.
Why it matters for your property
- Protection of pedestrians and the public from hazards like loose masonry or deteriorating parapets.
- Avoidance of steep fines and violations for late filings or non‑compliance.
- Preservation of your building’s value and reputation through proactive maintenance.
How we help – Our Local Law 126 Service Line
At Royal Construction Associates LLC, we provide a seamless compliance solution built around this purpose:
- Initial Inspection & Assessment
Our licensed inspectors and engineers evaluate your parapets, structural elements, and apply best‑practice diagnostics to identify any risk zones. - Repair & Remediation Planning
Based on the inspection findings, we deliver a clear scope of work with prioritised repairs or monitoring recommendations, ensuring you meet the “Safe”, “Safe with Repair & Monitoring” (SREM), or “Unsafe” classifications required by the DOB. - DOB Filing & Documentation
We prepare and file the necessary report with the NYC DOB within required deadlines, so your compliance is documented and traceable. - Maintenance & Monitoring
Because Local Law 126 often mandates annual check‑lists and monitoring between cycles, we offer service plans to keep your building ahead of the curve.
