10C filing window: Feb 21, 2027 – Feb 21, 2029
Tax block ends in 1, 2 or 3? Your Cycle 10 window opens February 21, 2027.
Sub-cycle 10C is the last of the three Cycle 10 waves. The window isn't open yet, which makes now the cheapest time to plan. Check your building's current status and Cycle 9 history below.

The 10C window: February 21, 2027 to February 21, 2029
NYC buildings over six stories on tax blocks ending in 1, 2 or 3 are in sub-cycle 10C. Their Cycle 10 report can't be filed before February 21, 2027, and it's due by February 21, 2029.
What to do before the window opens
- Read your Cycle 9 report. Every condition filed as SWARMP needs to be repaired within the time frame your QEWI recommended. It can't be filed as SWARMP again in Cycle 10.
- Get repairs done ahead of the inspection. A SWARMP condition from last cycle that turns up as Unsafe this cycle carries a $2,000 penalty, on top of the Unsafe penalties that follow.
- Budget now. Scaffold or rope access for close-up inspections (at least every 60 feet along the facade), any probes, and repairs belong in the next one or two operating budgets, not a special assessment after the fact.
- Line up a QEWI early. The 10A deadline falls on the same day 10C opens, so demand for inspectors will be high through early 2027.
Timing the inspection
The report has to be filed within 60 days after the critical examination is completed, and no more than a year after the close-up inspection. Since nothing can be filed before February 21, 2027, an examination finished much earlier than that can't be used. Plan the fieldwork so it wraps up shortly before you intend to file.
If you miss the window
A late filing costs $1,000 per month after February 21, 2029 until an acceptable report is filed. No filing at all adds $5,000 per year. Full penalty schedule.

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.
