Bill > A03651

This bill amends the New York City Building Code to establish new requirements for the renewal of permits for sidewalk sheds used in ongoing construction projects. The key provisions include: 1) requiring a report from a registered design professional on the condition of the premises and scope of work done since the last permit issuance, 2) prohibiting permit renewal unless the Commissioner determines the sidewalk shed is being used as part of an ongoing construction project, and 3) allowing the Commissioner to impose civil penalties of up to $1,000 for submitting false or misleading documentation in support of a permit renewal request. The bill defines an "ongoing construction project" as one where the sidewalk shed is utilized for at least 10 days per month over the previous year.
