Cycle 10A runs from February 21, 2025 through February 21, 2027 for block numbers ending in 4, 5, 6, or 9.
Who is in Sub-Cycle 10A?
FISP deadlines are based on the last digit of the building's NYC block number. Buildings in Sub-Cycle 10A have block numbers ending in 4, 5, 6, or 9.
If your building is taller than six stories and falls into 10A, the report must be filed before the end of the window. The inspection, close-up examination, probes, report writing, and DOB filing all take time.
Why owners should not wait until early 2027
The final months of a FISP window are usually busy. QEWIs, rope access crews, scaffolding, probes, and contractors get booked. If repairs or unsafe conditions are found, the schedule becomes even tighter.
Starting early gives the owner more control over access, cost, documentation, and repair planning.
What has to happen before filing?
A compliant FISP filing is more than a walkthrough.
- Confirm building height and sub-cycle
- Perform visual review of all exterior walls and appurtenances
- Complete required close-up inspections
- Address Cycle 10 probe requirements where applicable
- Classify the building as Safe, SWARMP, or Unsafe
- Prepare and file the report in DOB NOW
What happens if you miss the deadline?
Missing a FISP deadline can trigger DOB violations and monthly civil penalties. It can also complicate refinancing, sale due diligence, insurance review, and board budgeting.
Even if the building looks fine from the sidewalk, the filing deadline still applies. Compliance is tied to the required report, not just the visible condition of the facade.
10A action checklist
- Check the building block number and confirm whether it ends in 4, 5, 6, or 9.
- Schedule QEWI review while there is still time to plan access.
- Identify whether probes, rope access, scaffold, or tenant access may be needed.
- Get a proposal that covers inspection, reporting, DOB filing, and next steps if repairs are found.
