Under Local Law 11, virtually every exterior wall of every building taller than six stories will have to be inspected every five years. Moreover, while Local Law 10 applied only to walls over six stories high, Local Law 11 requires inspections of all four walls even if only one wall of a building meets the height requirement.
In addition to those changes, Local Law 11 also requires ''hands on'' inspections of any ornamental cast-stone or terra-cotta cornices or decorations that project more than six inches from the face of an exterior wall. The ''hands on'' requirement, means that inspections of such building elements must be conducted close-up -- from a scaffold or platform -- rather than with binoculars or telephoto lenses from nearby vantage points, as was permitted under Local Law 10.
