BILL NUMBER:S5484 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the multiple dwelling law, in relation to granting the commissioner of buildings of the city of New York the power to waive provisions of the multiple dwelling law with regard to the construction or alteration of multiple dwellings in such city SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This proposed legislation would authorize the Commissioner of Buildings of the City of New York to vary or modify a provision or requirement of the multiple dwelling law in its application to the construction or alteration of multiple dwellings in New York City, where strict compliance with such law would cause practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships. REASONS FOR SUPPORT: The Commissioner of Buildings already may waive provisions of the Building Code pursuant to section 645 of the New York City Charter. This act would extend the Commissioner's waiver to the Multiple Dwelling Law (MDL), in order to address unique circumstances in the construction or alteration of buildings in New York City and that may cause practical difficulties in complying with provisions of the MDL.
