Local Law 11 / FISP in Staten Island
Staten Island has the smallest number of FISP-obligated buildings of the five boroughs, with most six-story-and-taller construction concentrated around St. George and the north shore waterfront.
Filing Windows That Apply in Staten Island
Cycle 10 sub-cycle assignment is based on the last digit of a building's tax block number, looked up through NYC ACRIS or DOB BIS — the same citywide rule applies in Staten Island as in every other borough.
| Sub-Cycle | Block Number (Last Digit) | Filing Window |
|---|---|---|
| 10A | 4, 5, 6, or 9 | Feb 21, 2025 – Feb 21, 2027 |
| 10B | 0, 7, or 8 | Feb 21, 2026 – Feb 21, 2028 |
| 10C | 1, 2, or 3 | Feb 21, 2027 – Feb 21, 2029 |
A lower overall filing volume on Staten Island does not reduce DOB enforcement; the same civil penalty structure applies to any qualifying building that misses its filing window, regardless of how few comparable buildings exist nearby.
Staten Island Building Stock Notes
Most FISP-obligated buildings on Staten Island are concentrated in St. George, near the Staten Island Ferry terminal, and in scattered mid-rise developments along the north shore. The majority of the borough's residential stock falls below the six-story threshold and is not subject to FISP, which means fewer Staten Island properties carry a filing obligation compared with the other boroughs — though those that do are held to the same DOB deadlines and penalties.

Staten Island-Specific Questions
Are most Staten Island buildings subject to FISP?
No. Most Staten Island residential buildings fall below the six-story threshold and are not subject to FISP. Obligation is based on story count as recorded in DOB building records, not on borough.
Where are most FISP-obligated buildings located on Staten Island?
Primarily around St. George and the north shore waterfront, where mid-rise construction is more concentrated than in the borough's predominantly low-rise residential areas.
Does a lower building count change the filing deadline?
No. Sub-cycle assignment and filing windows are set the same way citywide, based on the last digit of the building's tax block number.
How does an owner confirm whether a specific Staten Island property is covered?
By looking up the building's story count and block number through DOB BIS; if the building is taller than six stories, it is subject to FISP regardless of how few nearby buildings are also covered.
