Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and chapter 542 of the laws of 2007, amending the administrative code of the city of New York and the education law relating to filings by persons who have negligently or knowingly made false statements in documents submitted to the department of buildings of the city of New York, in relation to false statements made to the department of buildings of the city of New York

AI Summary

This bill modifies New York City's administrative code to strengthen regulations around false statements in documents submitted to the Department of Buildings. Specifically, the bill expands the commissioner's authority to refuse applications or documents from professionals who have knowingly or negligently made false statements, including those licensed under specific education law articles (such as architects and engineers). The bill requires the Department of Buildings to verify professional qualifications by cross-checking information with the New York State Department of Education, ensuring that the contact information provided on applications matches official records. Additionally, the bill removes specific language about sanctioning architects and professional engineers while maintaining the commissioner's power to adopt rules limiting filing privileges for those who submit false or non-compliant documents. The changes aim to improve accountability and accuracy in building and construction document submissions by creating more stringent verification processes and potential penalties for professionals who submit misleading or incorrect information to the city's Department of Buildings.
