Façade Repairs
Protecting Buildings and Ensuring Compliance in NYC
The façade is more than just the face of your building—it’s the first line of defence against water, wind, pollution, and the freeze thaw cycles of New York’s climate. Over time, brick, stone, mortar, and decorative elements weaken, creating cracks, loose materials, and leaks. These issues aren’t just cosmetic; they threaten structural safety and put pedestrians at risk.
In NYC, façade repair is not optional—it’s regulated under Local Law 11 (FISP), which requires buildings taller than six stories to undergo routine façade inspections by a licensed engineer or architect. Any unsafe conditions must be repaired quickly, with protective sidewalk sheds often required until work is complete. MGR Restoration provides professional façade repair services that keep buildings safe, attractive, and fully compliant with city laws.
