What This Means for You The new law requires parking garage owners and operators to have their structures assessed and inspected at least every three years. The assessments should be performed by or under the supervision of a professional engineer who is registered in New York.
Why The Law Exists It was created to ensure the safety of both the workers and patrons that utilize parking structures. With routine inspections and maintenance, all New York parking structures will have minimal delamination, spalling, rust, and cracking. This drastically reduces any risk of collapse and even extends the life of parking garages, creating cost-savings in the long run.
Existing Structures In order to effectively organize the inspections of all existing parking structures, the law identifies tiered dates in which certain structures must be inspected by. Depending on the date your structure was built, you may need an inspection by October 2019, 2020, or 2021.
