Int 0391-2024
| * | Keith Powers | | Proposed Int. No. 391-A | Studying sidewalk shed designs and improving the aesthetics of existing sidewalk sheds. | Introduction | This bill would require the Department of Buildings (“DOB”) to complete a study and recommend to the Council the use of new sidewalk shed designs by September 30, 2025. Additionally, this bill would require DOB to promulgate rules for the use of containment netting as a sidewalk shed alternative. This bill would also expand the allowable color palette of sidewalk sheds beyond hunter green, to include metallic gray, white, or a color matching the façade, trim, cornice, or roof of the building; corresponding construction fences would be required to match the color of the sidewalk shed. Finally, this bill would increase the size of lighting installed beneath sidewalk sheds, particularly for sheds covering subway entrances, bus shelters, or other transit facilities, and increase the minimum height of sidewalk sheds to 12 feet, with a lower height allowed in areas where egress, light, or ventilation would be obstructed. | Hearing Held by Committee | |

| * | Keith Powers | | Proposed Int. No. 393-A | Removing construction-related equipment. | Introduction | This bill would reduce the duration of sidewalk shed permits issued in connection with a façade repair from 1 year to 3 months. The duration of sidewalk shed permits connected to demolition, a building alteration, or new building construction would remain undisturbed. This bill would also create new penalties enforceable by the Department of Buildings (“DOB”) for sidewalk sheds occupying the public right of way where a building owner has failed to conduct necessary façade repairs in a timely manner. Penalties would be enforced beginning with the second permit renewal, increasing based on the size and age of the shed. Finally, reports accompanying an application for a sidewalk shed permit renewal would be required to include information on work performed during the period of time since the last renewal; if work has not been performed during that time, documentation illustrating the applicable reason for the lack of work may be accepted by DOB for the purpose of renewing the permit. | Hearing Held by Committee | |

Int 0661-2024
| * | Erik D. Bottcher | | Proposed Int. No. 661-A | Penalties for failing to complete façade repairs in a timely manner. | Introduction | This bill would increase Department of Buildings (“DOB”) enforcement pursuant to the Façade Inspection and Safety Program by introducing new penalties for failing to submit completed construction documents to DOB within 5 months, failing to file necessary permit applications within 8 months, and failing to fully complete façade repairs within 2 years. Building owners would be able to request extensions by submitting documentation to DOB indicating why repair timelines cannot be met, and applicable penalties would be tolled until an extension is granted or denied. Additionally, should a building owner submit a contract indicating an anticipated timeline of work that is greater than 2 years, the owner would be allowed to apply for a single extension of time to complete the work, with the duration of such extension determined by DOB based on factors such as the size of the building, the scope of necessary work, and the materials necessary to complete such work. | Hearing Held by Committee | |
