Sidewalk Shed Regulations
Sidewalk sheds, temporary structures safeguarding urban pedestrians during construction or demolition, are regulated by stringent protocols. Mandatory for buildings exceeding 40 feet in height, their installation mandates prior approval and permits from the Department of Buildings.
Adherence to technical specifications, as per the NYC Building Code, is imperative to ensure structural robustness and pedestrian safety. Permits, valid for a year, entail renewal obligations to avoid hefty penalties.
Execution necessitates a systematic approach involving permit applications and adherence to fee structures. Shed removal requests are seamlessly processed via DOB NOW, ensuring safety standards before dismantling.

Unsafe Buildings Procedures
Unsafe Buildings jeopardize public safety, whether due to being open, vacant, unguarded, or structurally compromised.
New York City’s Department of Buildings pursues legal measures against such structures, guided by the Administrative Code’s provisions. Initial steps entail serving a Notice of Survey and Summons to relevant parties, urging corrective action.
Property inspections determine the severity of the hazard. If deemed unsafe and no corrective action is taken, a Precept is issued by the judge, empowering the city to conduct removal work, with costs borne by the property owner.
