Inspections will need to occur within 24 hours of significant rain events (>25 mm) to ensure the specified ponding depths and drain times are being achieved as per design specifications, standing water does not persist for more than 24 hours, and there are no leaks occurring due to damage to the roof membrane or as a result of other underlying roof conditions (NYCDEP, 2012a).<ref> New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP). 2012.

In addition, adequate maintenance of the secondary drainage system is essential to ensure its performance in the event of a failure of the roofing system. The rooftop system and membrane should be evaluated every 20 years to assess the need for replacement. Maintenance access points should be clearly identified in the plan for the system. Special training required to perform specific tasks is required for the appropriate person/consultant (entity) responsible for completing the specific maintenance activity.
