What if a facade emergency in NYC?

A facade emergency occurs when a portion of a building's exterior poses an immediate risk to pedestrians or occupants. This includes loose masonry, cracked panels, failing caulk joints, or any condition that could result in falling debris. Under NYC regulations, building owners are required to act immediately when such conditions are identified, securing the area and engaging qualified professionals to assess and stabilize the facade.

Top Team responds to facade emergencies across all five boroughs, 24 hours a day. Our SPRAT-certified technicians can deploy quickly without the setup time required for scaffolding, which makes rope access the most practical option when speed matters.
