City to impose criminal charges and hefty fines for dangerous facade violations
New rules passed through the city's
crackdown on dangerous buildings will require landlords pay for more in-depth inspections, and will impose heftier fines on building-owners who don't immediately fix up damaged facades.
The rules won't be the only changes to the way the city handles dangerous facade. The Department of Buildings will soon pursue criminal charges against owners of buildings with protective sidewalk sheds older than three years because of unsafe facades,
The New York Times reported Thursday. There are about 570 properties that would be caught up in the sweep, according to the paper.
