Parking Garage Repair
Parking garages in NYC are exposed to constant stress from vehicle loads, deicing salts, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Over time, these conditions lead to concrete deterioration, corrosion of embedded steel, and structural damage that can compromise safety and performance.
Proper maintenance and timely repair are essential to prevent further deterioration and extend the life of parking structures. At MGR Restoration, we provide comprehensive parking garage repair services, including concrete restoration, waterproofing, and structural reinforcement to keep facilities safe and operational.
As part of NYC compliance, Local Law 126 requires periodic inspections of parking structures to identify structural issues and ensure public safety. Our team works with property owners and engineers to address deficiencies, maintain compliance, and implement long-term repair strategies.

What is the inspection process?
Engage a Qualified Parking Structure Inspector (QPSI): A New York State licensed professional engineer certified by the NYC Department of Buildings.
Document Review: The inspector reviews relevant drawings, past reports, and violation histories.
Visual Inspection: A comprehensive assessment of all visible surfaces.
Physical Testing: At least 10% of each structural element type (e.g., slabs, columns, beams) must undergo physical testing, with an emphasis on deteriorated areas.
Condition Evaluation: Based on the building’s age, environment, structure type, and maintenance history.
Report Submission: A detailed report, including photographs and repair recommendations, must be filed within 60 days of the final inspection.
Annual Checklists: The QPSI must create an annual observation checklist to be used between formal inspections.
What are structure classifications?
Safe: No issues requiring immediate action; safe until next cycle.
SREM (Safe with Repair and/or Engineering Monitoring): Currently safe but requires repair or monitoring to prevent future deterioration. Repairs must be completed within a set period, with a follow-up report submitted within three years.
Unsafe: Immediate hazards exist. Owners must implement safety measures (e.g., barriers, protection), and complete necessary repairs within 90 days unless granted an extension.
