NEW Buildings
Bulletin: Sidewalk Sheds Near Green Infrastructure

We've
issued a new

Buildings
Bulletin to provide guidance to
owners, contractors, and design professionals on the
proper installation of sidewalk sheds near green
infrastructure.

Green
infrastructure collects and manages rainwater or
stormwater that falls on our city's streets and
sidewalks.

Read
our

Buildings
Bulletin and

Bulletin
Highlight to find out more about
green infrastructure and how to account for it when
designing and placing a sidewalk shed to avoid
causing damage to it.

For
additional questions on these requirements,
contact us at

constructioncodes@buildings.nyc.gov.
