Read Now: Deep Dive into NYC Construction Incidents 2019-2020

Today, DOB released a
first of its kind

Construction Safety Report that provides deep insights
on construction safety trends in the five boroughs over the 2019
and 2020 calendar years and examines Department initiatives that
led to declines in building construction-related incidents and
injuries during that time.

The two-year report delves into
Department data on enforcement actions, incidents, and
inspections to provide a deeper look at the factors impacting
construction safety in New York City. With an eye on preventing
future incidents from occurring, the report puts forward a
detailed analysis of the where, when, what, and how of
construction-related fatalities and injuries taking place in the
city.

Upcoming Deadlines: June 30, 2021

We're almost at the end of
June, and with the end of the month comes several
deadlines, including:

Any Local
Law 97 Adjustments Applications for calendar
years 2024-2029. Buildings with excess emissions at
least 40% more than the building's 2024 limit due to
special circumstance, pursuant to New York City
Administrative Code Section 28-320.8, can submit an
adjustment application through the June 30,2021
deadline. The filing fee for these applications is
$2,450.

Buildings covered by Local
Law 152 in Community Districts 1, 3, & 19 must
complete mandatory certified gas piping inspections.
To meet the inspection reporting requirement, building
owners must submit to the Department a signed and
sealed GPS2:
Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification via
our online portal. Failure to file the Gas Piping System
Periodic Inspection Certification by the corresponding
deadline will result in a civil penalty of $10,000. More
information on mandatory gas piping systems inspections
can be found in our Frequently
Asked Questions.

Finally, June 30 is the last
day to request a no-penalty
business sign, deck & retaining wall inspection. Our
annual 60-day initiatives allow New Yorkers to call 311
to request a free, no-penalty visual inspection of any
accessory business sign, deck, porch, or retaining wall
on their property. These programs give homeowners and
small business owners in the five boroughs the
opportunity to ensure that these structures are in good
structural condition with no visibly apparent violating
conditions.
