10B filing window: Feb 21, 2026 – Feb 21, 2028
Tax block ends in 0, 7 or 8? Your Cycle 10 window is already open.
Sub-cycle 10B runs until February 21, 2028. That sounds like plenty of time, but the inspection, the filing, and any repairs all have to fit inside it. Check your building's status against DOB's live records.

The 10B window: open now, closes February 21, 2028
NYC buildings over six stories whose tax block number ends in 0, 7 or 8 are in sub-cycle 10B. Their Cycle 10 facade report can be filed any time between February 21, 2026 and February 21, 2028.
Why "two years left" is shorter than it sounds
- The report has a shelf life. It must be filed within 60 days after the QEWI completes the critical examination, and no more than one year after the close-up inspection.
- Unsafe findings start a 90-day clock. Unsafe conditions must be corrected within 90 days of the report (DOB can extend that by up to 90 more). An Unsafe report filed near the deadline leaves no margin.
- Old SWARMP items come due. A condition filed as SWARMP in Cycle 9 can't be filed as SWARMP again. If it wasn't fixed and is now Unsafe, there's a $2,000 penalty on top.
- Everyone books at the end. QEWIs, scaffold crews and sidewalk-shed contractors are busiest in the months before each sub-cycle closes, and prices follow.
What a realistic 10B timeline looks like
- Pull the Cycle 9 report and list every SWARMP item that still needs work.
- Engage a QEWI and schedule the critical examination, including close-up inspections at least every 60 feet along the facade.
- Fix SWARMP items before the inspection where you can, so they aren't reported as Unsafe.
- File within 60 days of the examination, well before February 21, 2028.
What happens if you miss it
Filing late costs $1,000 for every month after the deadline until an acceptable report is filed. Not filing at all adds $5,000 per year after the window closes. See the full penalty schedule.
Is your building actually in 10B? The last digit of its tax block decides it. If you don't know the block number, search the address above. Neighboring buildings may be in 10A or 10C instead.
How the deadlines work
Cycle 10 runs 2025–2029, in three staggered waves
Every building's filing window is fixed by the last digit of its tax block number — not by borough, not by owner, not by building size. Two buildings across the street from each other can be in different sub-cycles.

Reading your result
What the four filing statuses actually mean
The facade has a condition that could pose a risk to public safety — a protective sidewalk shed is usually required. Repairs and a corrective filing must follow, and penalties accrue monthly until DOB accepts an amended report closing it out.
Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program. The facade passed with conditions — the QEWI identified items that need ongoing monitoring or scheduled repair. Compliant for now, but the maintenance plan has to actually be followed and eventually closed out.
Filed, inspected, and accepted with no outstanding conditions. Nothing further required until the next cycle.
A report has been submitted for this cycle but DOB hasn't finished processing it. Not the same as no filing at all — check back, or ask your QEWI of record for the status.
What it costs to wait
The fines outlast the inspection
DOB penalties for FISP don't stop on their own — they keep accruing every month until the correct report is filed or the condition is fixed.
Late or missing filing
For every month a report is filed after the deadline. If no report is filed at all, add $5,000 per year after the filing window closes.
Failure to correct an Unsafe condition
Starting in year two, add $10 per linear foot of sidewalk shed per month, rising to $40 per foot by year five — until the condition is corrected.
