The following is from the commissioners regulations.

155.4(b)(1)(iii)

Reports of building condition surveys, signed and sealed by the licensed architect or engineer, shall be submitted to the commissioner by January 15, 2001 and January 15 of every fifth year thereafter. Building aid computed pursuant to paragraph (d) of subdivision 6-e of section 3602 of the Education Law is available for building condition surveys conducted by a licensed architect or engineer if no claim for such a building condition survey in such a building has been filed in the previous five years. The apportionment of such building aid for each school building so inspected by a school district in the base year shall not exceed the lesser of the product of the building aid ratio and the actual cost, or the building condition survey aid ceiling computed by the commissioner. For aid payable in the 2000-2001 school year and thereafter, the building condition survey aid ceiling shall be the product of 20 cents plus an additional amount times the gross area of the building. Such additional amount shall be the result obtained when the cost of labor and material index determined by the New York State Department of Labor for the month of July of the current year is divided by the cost index for July 1999 and the result is rounded to two decimal places. A claim for building aid shall be made in a form prescribed by the commissioner, within six months of the date of the architect or engineer report, for aid payable in the following school year. Such reports shall be made available to the public on request.
