Need more info? Here are THE DETAILS:
Buildings without a GPS can only be inspected by a NYC Registered Design Professional (RDP) which is either a Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA). Subsequent to the inspection, the RDP will electronically submit, using this PORTAL, the required GPS Periodic Inspection Certification (GPS-2) to certify this is a building WITHOUT a GPS. The RDP will provide the owner with a copy of the GPS-2. No additional filing by the owner is required. The owner is required to keep the GPS-2 on file for 10 years either electronically or as a hard copy. This is the GPS-2 on the DOB website.
According to the NYC Department of Buildings your official inspection is to be completed only in the designated year for your NYC Community district. You may have an inspection done sooner for safety sake but you will still need to complete another inspection during the designated year for your NYC Community district.
Failure of an owner to file an Inspection Certification before the applicable due date may result in a civil penalty of $10,000.00 ($5,000 effective 08/11/2021 Per DOB Adopted Rule). Building owners are required to keep on file for ten years all reports and certifications and make them available to the DOB upon request.
