Steps
Start from the DOB's own FISP page, not a law-firm summary, for the authoritative current cycle interval.
Note that NYC Council legislation passed spring 2025 directed DOB to extend the inspection interval from 5 years, with a required range of 6–12 years and a first-cycle requirement of 8 years for new buildings' exterior walls.
Check whether DOB has since finalized the exact interval within that 6–12 year range — as of a January 2026 legal update, the precise final number was still pending DOB determination.
Cross-check the Local Law's stated effective date (reported as October 1, 2026, ahead of the close of Cycle 10-A) against the current DOB cycle calendar.
Do not assert a specific inspection-interval number without confirming DOB has published the final rule — treat any number under 6 or over 12 years as wrong on its face.
Known gotchas
This is genuinely in flux: multiple 2026 sources give a range (6–12 years) rather than one settled number — report the range and flag it as pending finalization rather than picking one figure.
'Local Law 11' is the popular name; the operative program is FISP (Facade Inspection & Safety Program) under NYC Administrative/Building Code — confirm which citation a source is actually using before treating two documents as describing the same rule.
