Expands remedies for violations of New York state uniform fire prevention and building code
This bill increases penalties for failing to fix building code violations, particularly for immediate safety risks like fire hazards. Owners, contractors, architects, and others who ignore repair orders for non-imminent issues face up to $1,000 daily fines for the first 180 days, then $25-$1,000 per day. For imminent threats (e.g., conditions endangering occupants), first violations carry $1,000-$5,000 daily fines, escalating to $10,000 per day for a third offense. The law applies to anyone involved in construction, maintenance, or fire safety who knowingly violates the uniform fire prevention and building code.
