What are Special Inspections?

 

 

The New York City Department of Buildings requires Special Inspections in NYC to be conducted for all construction projects as of the 2008 NYC Building Code. Special Inspections are conducted to ensure construction work is completed in accordance with all applicable building codes, and NYC Department of Building approved plans and specifications. Special Inspections must be conducted by an NYC DOB registered Special Inspection Agency – no other sign-offs will be valid after May 13, 2013. A TR-1 sign-off requiring Special Inspections cannot be processed without a Special Inspections Agency

 

What is the IAS?

Gibbons Engineering, P.C.; is an accredited Class 1 Special Inspections agency by the International Accreditation Service, known as the IAS. A subsidiary of the International Code Council, IAS provides objective evidence that an organization operates at the highest level of ethical, legal and technical standards. Worldwide demand for reliable, safe products and services makes accreditation a necessity. Since 1975, IAS has been setting the standards for accreditation by providing rigorous criteria for compliance and continued oversight of its accredited agencies. We are one of the first agencies in the NYC metro area permitted to perform Special Inspections.
