The No-Penalty Retaining Wall Program has ended for this year.
This program allows private property owners in all five boroughs to request visual safety inspections of their retaining walls without the threat of receiving violations for the duration of the program. The inspection is free of charge.
By law, property owners must address the safety and maintenance of retaining walls on their properties.
