Summary

This bill would require the applicants for permits related to the construction of new buildings and the alteration or demolition of existing buildings to submit to the Department of Buildings (“DOB”) a construction waste management and disposal plan, outlining measures to ensure trade waste generated by such work is properly disposed. Prior to the sign-off of a permit, this bill would require DOB, in conjunction with the Department of Sanitation and Department of Environmental Protection, to verify the permit holder’s compliance with such plan. Finally, this bill would allow DOB to issue a minimum civil penalty of $1,000 for failure to comply with the plan, and allow DOB and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to suspend or revoke contractor licenses for repeated failure to adhere to such plans.
