Warwick Owners Corp.

Facade Inspection Safety Program Cycle 8 to start soon

4/28/2017

 
What is FISP?

Formerly known as Local Law 11, FISP is a New York City requirement that owners of buildings

taller than six stories have a professional engineer inspect their building façade every five years

and file a written report with the Department of Buildings (DOB). The report is to include

parapets, railings, balconies, air conditioners/brackets and fire escapes. The engineer is to

specify if the building is SAFE, SWARMP (Safe with A Repair and Maintenance Program) or

UNSAFE.


FISP CYCLE 8 AT THE WARWICK

The Warwick is due to file our 8 th cycle by February 2018. Once again, we have hired AMR

Engineering who has evaluated our building and come up with a list of repairs that we need to

complete during the warmer months. AMR Engineering has a 7- year history at the Warwick.

Amr Hafez, the principal engineer, has previously helped us complete LL11 cycle 7 and the roof

replacement, both in 2012. He knows how our building works and where previous repairs have

taken place. He insists on quality workmanship to prevent future problems, a warranty on the

work and always has cost and value on his mind working on behalf of the Corporation.


CONTRACTOR – SKYLINE RESTORATION

Bid packages were sent out to 5 contractors and the Board of Directors selected Skyline

Restoration for price, reputation, and previous workmanship at our building during the 7 th cycle

in 2012. An estimated 8-12 men will be on site during work days.

TIMELINE

The work is expected to take 90 working days. Skyline will be on site from 8am to 5:30pm,

Monday through Friday (no holidays) depending on weather. We expect to start in the next

few weeks and the project will take place over approximately 4.5 calendar months.


SIDEWALK SHED

Once again, a sidewalk shed will be in place for the duration of the project on 3 sides of the

building – 76 th st, 35 th avenue and 77 th St. for protection of any passerby from falling debris

during construction. This is mandatory for safety. Lights are also required to be on 24 hrs. daily

inside the shed. Installation of the shed could happen in the next 7-10 days.


BACK GARDEN

The back garden will be closed for construction months. This includes after hours, weekends or

“just passing through” for your safety. Special arrangements will be made for moving or

deliveries only. If you have a bicycle in storage you will have to bring it in and out through the

lobby. We will not be planting any annuals or new plants this year to save money while the

garden is not in use for routine enjoyment. A large Russian elm pressing on the garden retaining wall    

requires removal for proper repairs. A professional arborist, Emerald Tree & Shrub, has been hired to safely

remove  the tree.

AIR CONDITIONERS

At this point and time, we have been told air conditioners will not require removal from

windows. If there is a change, the Warwick will provide notice to residents as well as

professional removal, storage, and re-installation.


WINDOWS AND WINDOW COVERINGS

A plan of the building will be posted in the lobby with notices of where the work is taking place.

The contractor recommends if work is near your windows to close and lock your windows to

prevent dust and debris from entering your unit. They also recommend closing your blinds or

window coverings for privacy.


NOISE

Construction noises such as hammering, drilling or voices should be expected.


QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS

We ask that you not speak to or distract the Skyline employees. If you have a complaint or

question or concern, please contact Orlando or our property manager, Eugene Gardner,

Email eugene@lovettrealty.com or 718-445- 9500 x161.


We appreciate everyone’s co-operation. We look forward to seeing shareholders at our Annual

Shareholders Meeting to answer any questions.
