How do I find my building's block number?

Your tax block number appears on your property tax bill, HPD registration, or the NYC Finance property lookup tool (a836-pts-access.nyc.gov). It is a 5-digit number that identifies your tax block within a borough.

Late filing penalties begin at $1,000 per month starting the day after your deadline. If you fail to file entirely after the filing window closes, penalties increase to $5,000 per year. The building may also face DOB violations and enforcement actions.

A QEWI (Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector) is a licensed professional engineer or registered architect certified by the DOB to perform FISP facade inspections. Only a QEWI can file FISP technical reports with the city. Building owners must hire a QEWI to inspect all exterior walls and appurtenances.
