Special provisions for approval of demolition and construction work by city contractors under the “build it back” disaster recovery program.

A Local Law in relation to special provisions for approval of demolition and construction work by city contractors under the “build it back” disaster recovery program

This bill would allow full demolitions and elevations of one- to four-family dwellings to proceed even where an existing violation or other condition may have delayed such work. The bill applies only where such work is being funded under the Build it Back program through a contract held by the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Design and Construction, or the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The bill would also waive certain civil penalties for such buildings.
