Enacts the New York city department of buildings community accountability act
This bill creates the New York City Department of Buildings Community Accountability Act to improve public safety by increasing transparency in construction oversight. It requires the department to publicly post records of complaints, construction accidents, and enforcement actions like stop-work orders on its website. Additionally, the law mandates that the department send biannual reports to community boards and borough presidents detailing violations and the status of enforcement efforts. These changes aim to make safety data more accessible to the public and local officials while taking effect one year after the bill becomes law.
