Frequently asked
What is the 70% see-through rule?
NYC Administrative Code §10-169 requires security gates on street-level commercial storefronts to be at least 70% transparent (open-grille style), so neighbors and police can see inside after hours.
What does this cost me?
The check is completely free. If you'd like us to handle an upgrade, we'll send a clear, no-pressure quote first. You're never obligated to move forward.
Is this an official inspection?
No — it's a friendly preliminary check. Only NYC DOB / DCWP can issue a formal compliance determination, but our review is designed to match the same rule they apply.
How fast will I hear back?
Most checks are returned within 1 business day.
