S 9582 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Designates building inspectors in the city of New York as peace officers

This bill designates building inspectors in New York City as peace officers when they are performing their official duties. Under the new rules, these inspectors gain the legal authority to enforce laws related to their inspections, similar to other sworn law enforcement officers. The legislation explicitly states that they cannot carry firearms unless they first obtain a specific license. This change applies directly to employees of the New York City Department of Buildings and takes effect immediately upon passage.
