| What is Local Law 10? |
|
| New York City Local Law 10 of 1980 was enacted shortly after a piece of masonry fell from the façade of a building on Manhattan's upper west side, killing a pedestrian. The New York City Council, in an effort to minimize the chances of such accidents ever occurring again, amended the NYC Building Code*, mandating that owners of applicable buildings have their exterior walls and appurtenances periodically inspected by a licensed professional engineer or registered architect. A report based on this periodic "critical examination" must be filed with the Department of Buildings. The law applies to buildings with at least six stories above a basement. |
|
| * Local Law 10 of 1980 (the 10th law enacted during the year 1980) was an amendment to the "Building Code" portion of the administrative code of the City of New York. Local Law 10 added section C26-105.3. The code was subsequently re-numbered, so that the provisions of Local Law 10 are currently contained in Administrative Code section 27-129. |

| What is Local Law 11? |
|
| In 1997 and 1998 New York City experienced several highly publicized exterior wall failures. In response, New York City Local Law 11 of 1998 was passed by the City Council and signed by the Mayor in March of 1998. |
|
| Local Law 11 of 1998 modified Local Law 10 of 1980 by broadening the scope of required façade inspections and imposing more stringent requirements for repair of deteriorated conditions. Changes enacted under Local Law 11 governed the fifth inspection cycle, which commenced in 2000. |
|
| The Department of Buildings, in its current literature on façade inspection laws, has dropped references to "Local Law 10," and is using the term "Local Law 11/98." |
|
| * Local Law 11 of 1998 (the 11th law enacted during the year 1998) was an amendment to the "Building Code" portion of the administrative code of the City of New York, modifying the language contained in Administrative Code section 27-129. |
|
| * The sequential numbering of NYC’s two façade laws was coincidental |
