Нью-Йорк вводит штраф в 200 долларов для строителей, не предоставляющих доступ к инспекторам

CITYWIDE — THE NEW YORK CITY Department of Buildings is proposing to add a new rule that would allow DOB to charge a $200 fee when an inspector arrives to perform a scheduled electrical, plumbing or construction inspection but is stymied because the permit holder or licensee is not prepared or willing to assist, or can’t provide full access. The fee is meant to reimburse the public for the inspector’s wasted time and incurred expenses. A public online hearing on this rule will be held Wednesday, Sept. 9 from 11 a.m. to noon. Those interested may also send in written comments. In the comments section, one contractor complained that the proposed rule “assigns no consequence when DOB cancels, arrives late, cannot complete an inspection, or otherwise wastes the time and money of an owner, contractor, worker, professional, or tenant.” ✰✰✰ Subscribe to Continue Reading SUNSET PARK — “As a resident of Marine Park, one of the great surprises I found biking around Industry City and visiting Japan Village was to discover Bush Terminal Park.
