Sidewalk Shed Survey

Mayor
Adams and DOB Commissioner Oddo recently announced the
City's new Get Sheds Down plan, an ambitious series of
initiatives to overhaul the management of sidewalk sheds
across New York City.

To assist
in the implementation of these new initiatives, the
Department is gathering more information about the
sidewalk sheds up around the City, why they are up, and
the timeline for when they will be taken down. A
mandatory online survey has been sent to all building
owners and permit holders with sidewalk sheds that have
been up for more than 90 days, with questions about
their sheds.

Property owners
and permit holders have until Thursday, August 31st to
complete the mandatory Get Sheds Down Survey on the
DOB NOW Public
Portal.
