Parking +
Garages

Local Law 126 for NYC Parking Garage Inspections

Distinctive vulnerabilities of parking structures, such as accelerated deterioration from factors like overloading, environmental conditions, and de-icing pose a risk to public safety with potential for partial or total collapses. As such, regular inspections, preventative maintenance, and rehabilitation measures ensure the structural integrity and safety of these facilities. New York City mandates routine inspections of parking garages and structures under Local Law 126 of 2021 be performed by a Professional Engineer certified Qualified Parking Structure Inspectors (QPSIs). These experts are equipped to assess the nuanced structural features and deterioration factors of parking structures and are proficient at identifying potential issues, conducting root cause analyses, and offering remediation support.

New York Required Parking Garage Inspections

New York State’s “Condition Assessments of Parking Garages” rules apply to parking garages falling under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Under Title 19 – Part 1203, it is mandated that parking garage owners in the State must have their garages inspected every three years by a professional engineer who is licensed and registered in New York State to identify any deterioration or unsafe conditions within the structure. Distinctive vulnerabilities of parking structures, such as accelerated deterioration from factors like overloading, environmental conditions, and de-icing pose a risk to public safety with potential for partial or total collapses. As such, regular inspections, preventative maintenance, and rehabilitation measures ensure the structural integrity and safety of these facilities.
