Joan Berkowitz, and Carolyn Caste will focus on NYC’s “Façade Inspection Safety Program” (FISP).

Ms. Berkowitz and Ms. Caste will explain: how the FISP Program works; what an inspection includes; describe some of the most interesting conditions found with examples of concealed deterioration and the interventions designed to correct them.
