Engineering Reports for NYC Buildings
Detailed engineering reports prepared by licensed Professional Engineers. FISP inspection reports, building condition assessments, due diligence documentation, and capital improvement plans — all accepted by the NYC DOB and industry professionals.
Types of Reports We Prepare
FISP Inspection Reports
Complete facade inspection reports filed through DOB NOW Safety. Includes visual and close-up examination findings, photo documentation, condition maps, and classification.
Building Condition Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations of building systems — structure, envelope, roof, mechanical — for boards, owners, and management companies planning maintenance or capital work.
Due Diligence Reports
Technical property assessments for buyers, lenders, and investors. We identify existing conditions, compliance status, deferred maintenance, and estimated capital needs.
Capital Improvement Plans
Prioritized multi-year plans for building upgrades and repairs. Includes cost estimates, phasing recommendations, and compliance considerations.
Structural Evaluations
Focused assessments of structural concerns — settlement, cracking, load capacity, and integrity of foundations, beams, columns, and load-bearing walls.
Leak Investigation Reports
Detailed documentation of water infiltration findings including source identification, travel path analysis, damage assessment, and targeted repair recommendations.
What Makes Our Reports Different
An engineering report is only useful if the people who need to act on it can understand it clearly. Our reports are written for decision-makers — not just engineers. Every finding includes context, severity assessment, recommended action, and estimated cost impact.
Because ARCONDES also performs inspections, repairs, and construction, our reports reflect practical field experience. We don't just describe conditions — we explain what caused them, what needs to happen, and what it will realistically take to address them.
Every Report Includes
- Licensed PE stamp and signature
- Executive summary for non-technical stakeholders
- Detailed findings with severity ratings
- High-resolution photographs and condition maps
- Prioritized repair recommendations
- Cost estimates for recommended actions
- DOB filing (for FISP reports)
- Digital delivery with organized appendices
