DOB Issues Standards for Cellular Antenna Installations

In coordination with the City's
effort to further deploy 5G cellular antenna
technology designed to provide New Yorkers with
expanded high-speed Internet, the Department has
issued Technical Bulletin 2021-011 to clarify
antenna installation allowances in all zoning
districts as outlined in the Technical Policy
Procedure Notice 5 of 1998.

Antennas and related equipment
may be placed on select building structures such as
a roof, chimney and smokestack or water tank.
Depending on placement, the antenna's height, square
footage allowed (including related equipment) and
how they are positioned must comply with the
Technical Bulletin.

The submission of plans should
also document placement of existing antennas and
related equipment as well as proposed installations.
