Requiring that vents in elevator hoistway enclosures be closed to prevent air leakage.

A Local Law to amend the New York city building code, in relation to requiring that vents in elevator hoistway enclosures be closed to prevent air leakage

This bill would require owners of existing buildings to partially close the elevator hoistway vents in such buildings to mitigate air leakage and owners of new buildings to install automated hoistway vents so that elevator hoistway vents in such buildings remain closed to prevent air leakage.
