Bill > S02729

This bill amends the New York City Building Code to require the Department of Buildings to conduct an inspection and verify that a sidewalk shed is being used as part of an ongoing construction project before renewing the permit for the shed. The bill also imposes a civil penalty of up to $1,000 on contractors or licensees who submit false or misleading documentation to support the permit renewal. The bill defines an "ongoing construction project" as one where construction workers have utilized the sidewalk shed for at least 10 days per month over the previous year.
