NEW YORK CITY PARKING GARAGE
INSPECTION LAW
Why Act Now
“A condition assessment of a parking structure shall be conducted at periodic intervals as set forth by rule of the commissioner, provided that such condition assessments shall be conducted at least once every six years and after each notification of an unsafe condition.”
- Article 323.3 of Title 28 of NYC Construction Codes (Effective of 1/1/22)
What The Law Says
With this new inspection law in effect, all NYC Parking garages must complete repairs of unsafe conditions in a timely manner.
"Parking structures...will also have to file a one-time initial observation report to DOB by August 1, 2024. This new required observation report, will be in addition to the previously required engineering reports that are still due in 2025 and 2027"
Expert Repair & Preparation
As with all projects involving widely-used and high-traffic common areas, parking garage repair and the application of traffic coatings requires diligent preparation and the execution of the appropriate processes to achieve a successful outcome with minimal interruption or downtime for the parking facility.
Surface preparation includes shotblasting, hydroblasting, and scarifying as needed to achieve the proper surface profile. A variety of expansion joint systems can be installed, including new fire-rated systems for maximum safety from floor to floor throughout parking structures. Elastomeric joint sealants that are chemically cured and capable of 50% joint movement are commonly used, and can be applied at a variety of temperature ranges to ensure maximum productivity.
Cementitious repair products that can be coated with epoxy or urethane coatings after only six hours are used to expedite the process. Catalyzed coating systems that cure almost instantly can greatly reduce facility down-time for owners. These systems can include epoxy, urethane and methyl methacrylate systems, depending on project requirements.
