"These companies are flyering around and calling people and creating this sense of urgency," says Lara Birnback, the executive director of the Brooklyn Heights Association. "I've definitely had people contact me and ask, 'Is this legitimate?'"
"When I heard about it, I was very confused," says Tim Pietrzak, who owns a South Slope rowhouse. "The definition of parapet is kind of ambiguous."
"Just got a flyer hung on our doorknob from what appears to be a brand-new company called Parapet Pros with scare language... that might be totally made up."
... homeowners say they've been inundated in recent months with calls and emails from parapet-inspection companies urging them to schedule an inspection before it's too late.
