Brooklyn Lawamkers On The Move June 11, 2018

Assembly member Tremaine Wright (D-Bedford-Stuyvesant, Northern Crown Heights) and State Senator Velmanette Montgomery (D-Bedford-Stuyvesant, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Boerum Hill, Sunset Park) applauded passage of their Construction Notification Bill (A5823-B/S4519-A) last week in the state legislature.

The measure will require the New York City Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) to provide written notification to adjoining property owners when an application for approval of construction is submitted to NYC DOB. The legislation also requires NYC DOB to provide proof of such permit and a copy of insurance to owners of adjoining property thirty days before construction, or demolition work begins except in the event that emergency work is authorized.

“This is such a win for New York City residents and especially homeowners in our districts. As our neighborhoods change we have seen a major increase in construction and homes are being gut renovated and flipped every day,” said Montgomery.
