Preconsidered Int. No. 389
 
By Council Members Ferreras and Koo (in conjunction with the Mayor)
 
 
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to authorizing the commissioner of buildings to waive certain fees in connection with work funded under the "Build It Back" program.
 
 
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
 
Section 1.  The administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 28-112.11 to read as follows:
§28-112.11 Waiver of application, permit and inspection fees for work funded under the "Build It Back" program. The city has implemented a disaster recovery program known as the Build It Back program that uses federal Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds to aid in the recovery of residential property damaged or destroyed in the severe storm known as Sandy that occurred on October 29 and 30, 2012.  To assist in such recovery, the commissioner shall waive fees, which would otherwise be required to be paid to the department by this code, the electrical code or the rules of the department, in connection with applications, permits and inspections for work that is officially approved and funded under the Build It Back program. The waiver provided for in this section shall apply only to work performed on property that is classified as residential and to fees payable on or after July 1, 2014. With respect to work on a mixed use building, fees payable on or after such date may only be waived for work on the residential units of such building and portions of such building that serve the residential units.  
§2.  This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after July 1, 2014.
