BILL NUMBER:S389
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the general city law, in relation to
the review of construction plans by cities
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill requires all cities to
employ persons to review any plans for construction or reconstruction
on structures within its boundary.
JUSTIFICATION:
This bill will require that all cities retain the
responsibility for approving plans for residential building projects.
Currently, in the city of New York the commissioner is permitted
to accept plans from architects and engineers who are in good
standing with the department if they sign the plans as complying
with the building code and zoning resolution. This policy has proven
to be faulty. This bill will put the responsibility for approving
these plans back in the hands of the city employees in all cities of
the State.
