Buildings Dept. Announces New Development Challenge Process
New York City’s Department of Buildings has announced a new development challenge process in which architects and engineers are required to submit online diagrams of new buildings and major enlargements.
This process will allow the public to view the size and scale of any proposed development before construction begins and invites them to comment on or challenge buildings’ zoning compliance. The challenge period will run up to 45 days after building diagrams are displayed online.
