- Unoccupied structures: Inspections are required once (1) every year.

Classification of Building Conditions:

检验要求：
The Ordinance originally applied to any exterior wall of a building taller than seventy (70’) feet, or those buildings classified as high-rise structures.
The new façade ordinance also includes unoccupied buildings of over thirty-five thousand (35,000) cubic feet, excluding buildings that are classified as three-family, two-family, or single-family, except as required by the Commissioner.
Inspections must be conducted by a qualified team of design professionals, including a registered architect or engineer, who is responsible for overseeing the inspection process.
