AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the  city  of  New  York,  in

BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 3314.20 of the New  York  city  building  code,  as

  3314.20  SIDEWALK  SHEDS. No [scaffolding] SIDEWALK SHED permit issued

COMMISSIONER  SHALL  ISSUE  A  ONE-TIME  RENEWAL  OF  SUCH  PERMIT FOR A
ONE-YEAR PERIOD. The commissioner shall promulgate such rules and  regu-
lations  as  shall  be  necessary  to  implement  the provisions of this
section.
  An "ongoing construction project" shall mean any construction  project
during  which  persons  employed in construction work are utilizing such
[scaffolding] SIDEWALK SHED at least two days per week, or have utilized
such [scaffolding] SIDEWALK SHED for at least two days per week  at  any
time  over  the course of the six months immediately preceding a request
to renew a [scaffolding] SIDEWALK SHED permit.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  be  deemed  to
have  been in full force and effect on and after the date chapter 520 of
the laws of 2015, took effect.
