Denial of certain building permits where outstanding charges are owed to the city.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the denial of certain building permits where outstanding charges are owed to the city

This bill would require the Department of Buildings to withhold building permits for certain properties where $25,000 or more in unpaid charges are owed to the city or where the owners of such properties owe, in aggregate, $25,000 or more in unpaid charges to the city. The bill provides certain exceptions to this prohibition, such as where the permit would be required to correct a dangerous condition.
