Recognize scenes like these? If you live in NYC you do.

Scaffolding in NYC is a good idea run amok. In Manhattan alone there are 4k+ of these sidewalk sheds. Some have been up for years, creating a blight in many neighborhoods.

Today we're releasing a plan to rein this in.šŸ§µ
Weā€™re calling for measures to help buildings speed up faƧade work, to penalize bad actors, to have more flexibility in when faƧade inspections are required, to have better design for sidewalk sheds, and more. #ShedTheShed
Strategy 1: Help buildings do faƧade work more quickly so the scaffolding comes down faster
* Provide low-interest loans to buildings struggling to complete mandated faƧade work
* Create an accelerator program at Dept. of Bldgs to help property owners comply with Local Law 11
