In our ongoing efforts to keep you updated on relevant legislation that may affect you and your clients, this week we wanted to remind you that, pursuant to Article 323 of Title 28 of the NYC Administrative Code and 1 RCNY §103-13 of the NYC Department of Buildings (“DOB”) Rules and Regulations, owners of parking structures in certain Community Districts in all five (5) boroughs are required to have a one-time initial observation of their parking structure performed by, or under the direct supervision of, a qualified parking structure inspector (“QPSI”) and report the findings to DOB no later than August 1, 2024.
In addition to the one-time initial observation, please note that periodic inspection reports will also be required for the covered parking garages during applicable defined Sub-Cycles and civil penalties for failure to complete the reporting requirements are $1,000 per month until the report is filed with DOB plus an additional annual fine of $5,000 in the event that the report is not submitted by the end for the calendar year.
Below are helpful links to the DOB Service Notice which provides specific information regarding DOB’s filing requirements and well as a link to the DOB Parking Structure Map so that you can determine which sub-cycle covers your particular parking garage’s reporting requirements.
