A Facade Contractor Built Around NYC's Facade Inspection Rules
Buildings in New York City taller than six stories need a facade inspection every five years under Local Law 11, now called FISP. The inspector writes the report. We’re the contractor that carries out the repairs it calls for, from SWARMP items with a deadline to Unsafe conditions that need public protection the same day.
That focus shapes how we work. We read the report before we price anything, match each finding to a line in the estimate, and document the finished work so your inspector can confirm it.

Meet Our Founder, Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali founded Local Law 11 NYC and leads its facade restoration work. In more than 10 years in business, the idea behind the company hasn’t changed: building owners shouldn’t have to decode a facade report on their own.
When you call, we tell you plainly what’s urgent, what can wait until your deadline, and what it will take to get each item signed off. No vague lump sums, and no pressure to do work the report doesn’t call for.

How We Work on Every Facade Repair Job
Six habits that hold on every job, from a single lintel to a full elevation.
Your report comes first
We start from your FISP report or DOB notice, so the estimate covers what the inspector actually found.
One line per finding
Each listed condition gets its own line and price, so you can see what’s urgent and what can follow.
Our own sheds and scaffolding
We own sidewalk sheds and scaffolding, so access isn’t held up waiting on a rental company.
Work your inspector can confirm
We photograph and document each repair so your inspector can check it and update the filing.
Fast on unsafe conditions
Same-day response, and a 24/7 line when masonry is loose or DOB has issued an order.
Plain answers, free estimates
The report review and estimate are free, and we explain every item in plain language.
