Following Interview Feature, the Firm Urges Property Owners to Take a Proactive Approach to Exterior Maintenance Across the Tri-State Area
Following their recent in-depth interview, Schnellbacher-Sendon Group, LLC is using the opportunity to spotlight a growing concern across the New York City Tri-state area: the critical need for proactive, long-term planning around building facade safety, maintenance, and restoration. With nearly 20 years of experience focused exclusively on exterior building work, the firm is calling on property owners, managers, and co-op boards to rethink how they approach the ageing of their buildings.

"Too many restoration jobs begin when a structure is already in crisis," a spokesperson from Schnellbacher-Sendon Group shared. "By the time we're called in, the damage is often advanced, the cost is higher, and the risk to public safety increases."

According to data from New York City's Department of Buildings, over 8,000 buildings are required to undergo regular inspections under the FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program)-and each year, hundreds are found to be unsafe or in need of significant repair. Many of these issues stem from years of deferred maintenance, which could have been addressed earlier with proper planning.

"Restoration isn't just about appearance," SSG's team added. "It's about preserving a building's structure, preventing water infiltration, and keeping pedestrians safe. When a cornice fails or a parapet weakens, it can become a legal liability-but more importantly, it's a public safety hazard."

The firm's approach-focused on quiet professionalism, transparency, and long-term relationships-has helped property owners restore some of the Tri-state's most valuable buildings, from historic brownstones to commercial rooftops.

One standout example shared in the interview involved a century-old property patched up many times over decades. "We stripped everything down, sourced matching materials, and rebuilt the decorative elements by hand," they explained. "When it was done, you couldn't tell it had ever been touched-that's the kind of restoration that lasts another 100 years."

But SSG stresses that it's not just about hiring experts-it's about shifting the mindset of the industry. Instead of treating exterior repairs as a one-off emergency response, they advocate for phased planning, routine condition assessments, and building-specific maintenance schedules.

What Property Owners and Managers Can Do Now:

*
Conduct regular visual inspections of building facades, parapets, and balconies.

*
Keep records of previous repairs and materials used to inform future work.

*
Work with engineers or facade consultants to identify problem areas before they escalate.

*
Educate boards and tenants about the value of preventative maintenance.

*
Budget annually for phased restoration instead of waiting for full system failure.

"The buildings we restore are often part of the city's history and character," SSG noted. "We have a responsibility-not just as contractors, but as stewards of the built environment-to keep them standing strong."
