Facade Inspections
Last updated: April 2026

Facade Inspection Management for FISP Compliance

Schedule FISP inspections, track QEWI findings, manage SWARMP repairs, and file with the DOB — all from one platform built for facade inspection companies serving NYC buildings.

Challenges You Face Every Day

Sound familiar? KomplyOS was built to solve exactly these problems.

Complex Multi-Building Portfolios

Managing FISP inspection cycles across dozens of buildings with different filing deadlines, QEWI assignments, and repair timelines is overwhelming without a centralized system.

SWARMP Repair Tracking Gaps

When inspections reveal unsafe conditions, SWARMP (Subsequent Work and Repair Maintenance Program) repairs must be tracked meticulously. Paper-based tracking leads to missed deadlines and DOB violations.

Missed DOB Filing Deadlines

FISP operates on a 5-year cycle with staggered deadlines based on block number. Without automated tracking, buildings miss filing windows and face penalties up to $5,000 per month.

QEWI Coordination Challenges

Coordinating Qualified Exterior Wall Inspectors (QEWIs), scaffolding schedules, and building access across multiple properties requires constant communication that email and spreadsheets cannot handle.

How KomplyOS Solves It
