IMBY put a post up yesterday that, in addition to providing classic footage of some nocturnal demolition in the South Slope, details the new rules governing demolition that are about to go into effect. Starting December 2, contractors will face stricter notification requirements before starting both full and partial demolition. For full demo, contractors will have to call (212) 227-4416 and get a confirmation number; in addition to following the same procedure for partial demolition, contractors must also notify owners of adjacent properties in advance if they are going to be using non-hand-held machinery. Contractors must submit a copy of their notification to DOB.
New Demolition Notification Requirements to Start December 2 [IMBY]
They can write another 100 rules, but until the DOB starts busting them, who cares? I mean, they check on night work being done the next morning! And then they say there’s “no evidence.” Nor do they give a rat’s ass if you have photographic evidence.
Will DOB/NYC actually enforce the new rules?
Wasn’t there already an adjoining property notification in place?
