Provides safety thorough inspections of New York City balconies

(New York, N.Y.) Howard L. Zimmerman Architects, P.C. (HLZA) provides thorough inspections of New York City balconies in compliance with new safety laws for 2010 that protect residents and passersby. 

The New York City Department of Buildings increased its scrutiny of balconies after an unsecured balcony railing resulted in a tragic death in March 2010. Prior to the incident, balcony railings took a back seat to inspection of the balcony slabs. However, railings endure constant exposure to the elements and ongoing expansion and contraction of disparate railing components. 

Howard L. Zimmerman Architects, P.C. provides a roster of Registered Architects or Professional Engineers required to properly inspect balcony railings. The firm specializes in forensic investigation and exterior restoration and has inspected over 4,000 balconies this summer at the request of building owners and managers.
