WHAT IS A PARAPET WALL?
Parapet walls are typically short, narrow walls constructed along the edges of a building’s roof, often around its perimeter. They can take the form of balustrades or other architectural designs and are commonly found on houses, bridges, walkways, balconies, and other elevated surfaces.
Primarily seen on flat roofs, parapet walls extend the vertical wall of a building above the roofline. They are especially important when the roof is used as a terrace, balcony, utility area, or walkway, as they provide essential safety and protection.
Parapets may also be sloped, seamlessly integrating with the roof rather than standing perpendicular to it.
Effective January 1, 2024, NYC has introduced stringent building laws, significantly impacting residential and commercial property owners. The initial compliance deadline for this requirement is December 31, 2024. These updates mandate annual parapet and facade inspections to adhere to enhanced safety standards. Failure to comply not only risks the safety of your occupants but also exposes you to severe financial penalties. ParapetPros is at the forefront, offering specialized inspections to secure your compliance and protect you from unforeseen penalties.
