What is a Façade Inspection?
A façade inspection is the process of meticulously evaluating the condition of various components of a building’s exterior, including:
The objective of the inspection is to identify areas of concern so businesses can implement maintenance strategies that resolve issues and reduce the likelihood of them occurring in the future. Regular façade inspections allow businesses to take a proactive approach to their building’s needs, helping to prevent dangerous building damage and deterioration.
Philadelphia’s Façade Inspection Laws
Philadelphia requires that buildings more than six stories tall or with an appurtenance higher than 60 feet undergo façade inspections within 10 years of their construction and every 5 years following that. The ordinance classifies inspected buildings as safe, safe with a repair and maintenance program (SWARMP), and unsafe. Buildings given the SWARMP label must undergo repairs before the next inspection cycle, otherwise they’ll be deemed unsafe.
