Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program — remediation specialists.
NYC SWARMP Condition Remediation Specialists
A SWARMP designation means your building has facade conditions that require repair within the current FISP cycle. While less urgent than UNSAFE, SWARMP conditions that are not remediated on time escalate to UNSAFE status with corresponding fines and penalties. Blue Rock Construction Services Inc. handles complete SWARMP remediation — scaffold, facade repairs, and DOB filing — under one contract across all five NYC boroughs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does SWARMP mean for my building?
- SWARMP stands for Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program. Your building's QEWI engineer found facade conditions that require repair within the current FISP inspection cycle but do not pose an immediate public safety risk. You must complete the required repairs and file documentation with the DOB before the cycle deadline.
- What happens if SWARMP repairs are not completed on time?
- If SWARMP conditions are not remediated before the cycle deadline the building's status escalates to UNSAFE, triggering immediate daily fines, mandatory sidewalk shed installation, and accelerated remediation requirements. Early action avoids this escalation.
- What repairs are typically required for SWARMP conditions?
- Common SWARMP repairs include mortar repointing of deteriorated joints, caulking and sealant replacement at windows and expansion joints, minor masonry repairs, cornice patching, and waterproofing treatments. The specific scope is determined by your QEWI engineer's inspection report.
- Does Blue Rock work from the QEWI engineer's SWARMP report?
- Yes. Blue Rock works directly from the engineer's inspection report and scope of work. We coordinate with your QEWI engineer throughout the remediation and provide all required documentation for the engineer's close-out filing.
- Is scaffold required for SWARMP remediation?
- It depends on the location and extent of the repairs required. Your QEWI engineer will specify whether scaffold, suspended access, or other means of access are required. Blue Rock evaluates the access requirements and provides the most cost-effective solution for your SWARMP scope.
