2019 was a momentous year for the Department. We welcomed Commissioner Melanie E. La Rocca to the Buildings family, rolled out our unprecedented site safety training outreach campaign, and oversaw a historic decline in construction-related accidents. We steadily improved processing times for job applications and inspection requests, even as the building boom shows no signs of slowing.
The Department has also been instrumental in furthering Mayor de Blasio's vision for an equitable and sustainable New York by implemented new, groundbreaking legislation to combat construction-related tenant harassment and address the crisis of climate change by improving the energy efficiency of our city's buildings.
Read more about these milestones in the links below, and stay tuned. Big things are coming in the new year, as we continue our work to ensure the safety of all who live, work, and build in NYC!
