Building Conditions Assesment

This course on condition assessments will take place over six weeks and will present various approaches on how to assess and document conditions based on an understanding of a range of construction typologies and building structures. Methods for assessing and categorizing types of conditions will be introduced and illustrated with case study presentations, including a discussion on how to identify building problems as background to recommending and developing repairs, treatments for historic buildings, and building resiliency. The course will also cover an overview of the parameters, guidelines, and regulations for the New York City Department of Buildings Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP). Case studies will include older historic buildings primarily in New York City (e.g., New York Public Library) as well as examples of heritage structures from the recent past.
