The NYC DOB Retaining Wall Flag is a new feature introduced in the Buildings Information System (BIS) Property Profile. This development is crucial for property owners and managers as it pertains to the inspection and reporting requirements of retaining walls.
The LL37/08 Retaining Wall flag identifies properties with retaining walls or parts of retaining walls subject to inspection and reporting requirements under Local Law 37 of 2008 and Section 103-09 of Title 1 of the Rules of the City of New York.
Properties with retaining walls that do not have the LL37/08 Retaining Wall flag in the Property Profile may still be subject to these requirements. Property owners and managers should review NYC Administrative Code §28-305.4 and 1 RCNY Section 103-09 for more information about retaining wall inspection requirements.
The NYC DOB has provided instructions on how to file a retaining wall report in their Industry Notice dated January 30, 2023. This information can be accessed on the official NYC DOB website.
