Parapet Inspections
As a follow up to the topic I started a few weeks ago, these FAQs from DOB answer some of the questions:
https://www.nyc.gov/site/buildings/safety/parapets-frequently-asked-questions.page
I was happy about these two points which seem to exempt my own house from the annual {Observation” requirements:
Do parapet walls on balconies need to be inspected?
No, these do not fit the parapet definition above.
Do cornices need to be inspected?
Cornices attached to the front wall/roof with no parapet behind do not need to inspected, however, cornices that are attached to parapet walls are subject to annual inspections as they are considered an appurtenance.
