Upper East Side Drone Inspections FAQ

How do you handle strict Upper East Side co-op board requirements?

Our professional team understands the discretion expected in prestigious buildings. We can support your alteration application with detailed documentation.
Can you scan classic six apartments for renovation?
Yes, we regularly document classic six layouts for renovation planning. These pre-war apartments have unique floor plans, thick walls, and hidden MEP systems that require accurate scanning. Our documentation reveals true conditions that may differ from any existing drawings, helping architects design successful renovations.
Do you work with Museum Mile institutions?
Yes, we work with museums and cultural institutions for facility documentation, exhibition planning, and visitor experience virtual tours. Our NavVis and RTC360 equipment efficiently captures large gallery spaces. We coordinate with museum operations to minimize disruption during public hours.
What insurance coverage do UES co-ops typically require?
Most Upper East Side co-ops require a Certificate of Insurance with $1-2 million general liability minimum, naming the building corporation and managing agent as additional insureds. Some prestigious addresses require higher limits. We provide the standard COI and can obtain additional coverage when required.
Can you capture Central Park views in Matterport tours?
Yes, our Matterport Pro3 handles the bright park views through large windows using HDR processing. For marketing-quality tours of apartments with park views, we often recommend scheduling captures when lighting is optimal - typically late afternoon for west-facing units. The views that make these apartments valuable are showcased.
