  ICC300 Inspections. We inspect school and campus bleachers, grandstands, and telescopic seating to ICC 300 and gym backstops to ASTM F3731, and deliver a written photo report. We cover schools nationwide on quote. Home base is New York’s Capital Region, with primary coverage across New York and New Jersey.

• What standard do gym backstop inspections follow?

  Backstops are not covered by ICC 300. Gym basketball backstops (ceiling-suspended and wall-mounted) are inspected to ASTM F3731, the ASTM guide for these backstops published in 2024. Bleachers, grandstands, and telescopic seating are inspected to ICC 300.

• Can you only inspect, or can the work get done too?

  Yes, the work can get done too. ICC300 Inspections works with qualified technicians, so the process doesn't stop at the report. When work is required, we help see it through from inspection to completed repairs, then come back to reinspect so you have an updated report on file.

• How do we keep bleacher inspection records on file?

  ICC300 Inspections gives you a written photo report you can keep on file for each inspection. A good file for each set of bleachers, grandstands, or telescopic seating includes the dated inspection report, photos of any findings, a record of repairs completed, and the reinspection report once work is done. Keep at least the most recent reports where facilities, athletics, insurance, and the board can find them. For a fuller New York walkthrough, see our New York bleacher inspection requirements guide.

• What bleacher inspection does New York require, and who is liable?

  New York follows ICC 300, which calls for existing bleachers, grandstands, and folding or telescopic seating to be inspected and evaluated at least once a year by a qualified person. The school or campus that owns the seating is responsible for arranging that inspection and acting on the findings. ICC300 Inspections provides those annual inspections in New York, with a written photo report you can keep on file to show the seating was inspected and managed. Confirm your specific requirements with your district, insurer, or counsel. For a fuller New York walkthrough, see our New York bleacher inspection requirements guide.

• Gym telescopic seating didn't pass inspection — who can reinspect in New York?

  ICC300 Inspections. When telescopic or folding seating is flagged as Non-Compliant or Need Repair, we can return for a reinspection in New York once the stands are ready (typically fully extended, with stored gear cleared). We work with qualified technicians to see it through from inspection to completed repairs to reinspection. The reinspection follows ICC 300 and produces an updated written photo report under the ICC300 Inspections name. Inspections are performed by a certified Nickerson inspector.

• Should we use an independent inspector or the manufacturer for school grandstands?

  ICC300 Inspections provides independent, owner-operated inspections under our own name — not a manufacturer service visit. You get a clear ICC 300 written photo report for admin, insurance, or the board, performed by a certified Nickerson inspector. When the report finds deficiencies, we work with qualified technicians to see the job through end to end, from completed repairs to a reinspection and an updated report on file. Many schools prefer that split: an inspection report they can file, then a clear path to repairs if needed.
