Manhattan Mobile SLAM Scanning FAQ

What is FISP and how does it affect Manhattan buildings?
FISP (Facade Inspection and Safety Program, formerly Local Law 11) requires facade inspections every 5 years for all NYC buildings over 6 stories. With thousands of qualifying buildings in Manhattan alone, FISP Cycle 10 (began January 2025) drives enormous demand for 3D scanning and drone inspection services to support QEWI engineers.
How does Local Law 97 create scanning demand in Manhattan?
LL97 requires buildings over 25,000 sqft to meet carbon emissions caps. Compliance reports are due May 1, 2026. Energy audit scanning, MEP documentation, and digital twins help building owners identify retrofit opportunities and track emissions reductions. Penalties reach $0.50/sqft/month for non-compliance.
Can you fly drones in Manhattan?
Yes — all of Manhattan is within FAA Class B airspace. We obtain LAANC authorization for every flight and comply with Remote ID requirements. Early morning flights minimize pedestrian and traffic conflicts. Some areas near heliports or the UN require additional coordination.
What areas of Manhattan do you serve?
We serve all Manhattan neighborhoods from the Financial District to Inwood. Our NYC office at 322 W 52nd St provides rapid response across the borough. We handle all building access coordination including COI, freight elevator booking, and security clearance.
How do office-to-residential conversions use 3D scanning?
Manhattan's office vacancy has driven a wave of commercial-to-residential conversions. 3D scanning captures existing floor plates, column grids, ceiling heights, and MEP systems — providing BIM-conversion-ready data that architects need to redesign commercial spaces for residential layouts.
