Revolutionizing Building Inspections in NYC

Drone Inspect NYC delivers the data professionals need to make decisions with confidence.

Our Story

Drone Inspect NYC was founded to solve a growing problem: how to inspect and manage New York City's complex buildings and infrastructure without relying on outdated, costly, and high-risk methods. That's why we built a company focused not just on flying drones, but on delivering high-quality drone data, 3D digital assets and regulatory compliance with every mission.

Launched in 2019, Drone Inspect NYC was born from a deep passion for drone technology and a drive to solve real-world problems. Every project since has taught us something new about flying in this city: its airspace, its permitting process, and what our clients actually need from the data. Today we are a trusted partner to building owners, architects, engineers, QEWIs and property professionals across the five boroughs.

Our experience has shaped our aerial capabilities and our method of collecting data. What sets us apart is not only how we collect the data, but how we share it. We deliver it through a cloud-based 3D viewer where your team can measure, annotate and export an image condition report. From building façades and rooftops, to thermal scans and complex infrastructure, we help clients focus on what matters most: making informed decisions, simplifying the reporting process, and staying ahead of compliance.
