Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc.

Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. is an engineering consultant working at the intersection of architectural preservation and structural problem-solving across the country. They take on projects where tracing the origin of a building’s cracks, stains, or material failures matters just as much as preventing the next crack from forming. The team juggles historical materials analysis, failure investigations, repair design, facade assessment, and forensic engineering, rounding out with peer reviews when another set of eyes will keep the next shaking tenant complaint from turning into a full-blown collapse.

Find them in midtown, at 1350 Broadway on the ninth floor of a Midtown block stripped down to its steel frame. Tenants here appreciate the building’s bones; engineers like them because the street grid is entirely walkable once work is done. The office sits above subway rumble but well below the siren cacophony, a block away from the theater district’s bright lights.

Questions or next steps should start with a call to (212) 760-2540. If you’re tracking down notes on the building’s own history or need a map that actually pinpoints that 1350 Broadway slot, directions are ready at buildings-on-Broadway.
