5 February 2021 NYC Occupied Unsafe High-Rise Buildings
Applications to construct a building New York City provide an Items Required list of documents to be submitted for examination and approval by the agency. These items are categorized under Application (APP) at the start to Permit (PER) to begin construction to Sign-Off (SGN) at the end for approval of final completion of the project:
Sign-Off often occurs well after most of construction has been completed, inspected, corrected and approval by a number of municipal agencies in addition to the Department of Buildings, such as Fire Department, Environmental Protection, Health and others. Due to the delay in obtaining Sign-Off building owners obtained temporary approvals for set perios, say 90 days, and may begin occupancy with sales, rentals, leases. A final Certificate of Occupancy may be hard to come by and required a Sign-Off on all Items Required. This document lists several dozen recently constructed high-rises in New York City, including "supertalls," which have not yet obtained Sign-Off of all Items Required, that is, are not fully compliant with Building Code regulations for safe occupancy. Despite this non-compliance, most of the buildings are occupied, with sales, rentals and leases completed. Department of Buildings list of buildings with incomplete Items Required are provided for each as downloaded on 5 February 2021.
