A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to training building inspectors.
 
 
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
 
      Section 1.  Article 103 of title 28 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by local law number 33 for the year 2007, is amended by adding a new section 28-103.21 to read as follows:
§28-103.21  Inspectors.  The commissioner shall provide training and instruction to all persons appointed as inspectors on the interpretation and application of the zoning resolution, building code, electrical code, other construction codes, multiple dwelling law and other related statutes, laws, rules and regulations, construction safety standards and fire safety practices.  Inspectors assigned or designated to inspect or monitor major building excavation, construction or demolition, as defined in chapter 33 of this code, shall also be provided training and instruction in site safety standards which shall be equivalent or superior to the 8-hour course requirement for those seeking a site safety coordinator certificate. Inspectors who perform inspections with respect to specialized activities including, but not limited to, activities related to the design, erection, operation and dismantling of cranes, the manufacture and use of concrete and related structures, and the construction, operation and maintenance of elevators, shall also be trained with respect to those specialized activities. Such training programs shall be periodically reviewed and revised to include any relevant changes to technology, equipment, construction techniques, laws or standards, as is applicable.  
§2.  This local law shall take effect ninety days after enactment.
