This presentation will inform the professional community of nine recently enacted resiliency-related local laws passed by City council in the wake of Hurricane Sandy that amend the 2008 New York City construction codes. Attendees will be made aware of construction code changes that impact building design such as:
• Local law amendments to the 2008 New York City Building code’s Appendix G, Flood Resistant Construction,
• Local law amendment to the 2008 New York City Building Code, Mechanical Code and Electric Code as it pertains to emergency and standby power systems,
• The effect of legislative impacts to the Department of Building’s application and filing process. These local laws are based primarily on the recommendations of the Buildings Resiliency Task Force (BRTF) and the Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency (SIRR). The local laws to be covered are:
Local Law 29/13 – Raising and Moving of Buildings; LL 95/13 – Healthcare Facilities;
