Why Inspect Building Facades?

1. Public safety

Cracks, spalling, or loose panels can endanger pedestrians and occupants. Inspections identify such hazards early.

2. Cost control & value preservation

Preventative maintenance helps avoid expensive failures down the line, preserving your building’s aesthetics and market value.

3. Regulatory compliance

13 jurisdictions (e.g., NYC, Milwaukee) mandate facade inspections to preempt incidents like falling debris.

Unlike many major U.S. cities with mandatory facade ordinances (e.g., NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta and Seattle currently have no municipal law requiring periodic facade inspections. However, per the International Property Maintenance Code, building exteriors must be maintained in good repair, structurally sound, and not endanger public safety or welfare.

Consequently, many Atlanta building owners choose to inspect their facades proactively to reduce liability risk and protect occupants and passersby.
