Queens Residential Painting & Compliance

Project Overview

The FDNY had flagged a six-unit residential building in Queens due to visible rust and peeling paint on its exterior fire escapes. The property owner initially thought this was a minor cosmetic issue, but inspectors noted structural risks that needed immediate attention.

The Challenge

The FDNY issued a formal violation requiring corrective work before the next inspection. If unaddressed, fines and possible enforcement actions could have been imposed. The rust had already compromised several structural components, which meant simple repainting would not suffice.

Our Approach

1

Full Structural Inspection — We began with a comprehensive inspection, identifying all weakened and compromised areas across the entire fire escape system.

2

Rust Removal & Treatment — Rust was removed completely from all affected surfaces. Compromised metal was treated with industrial-grade anti-corrosion compounds to prevent recurrence.

3

Protective Coating Application — The team applied a high-quality protective coating across the entire structure to ensure long-term durability, weather resistance, and structural integrity.

Results

  • ✓ FDNY violation cleared ahead of deadline
  • ✓ Structural integrity fully restored
  • ✓ Building passed re-inspection with zero comments

I thought I just needed a paint job, but ABC handled the full fix. Now I know the structure is safe and compliant.
