In preparation for melting snow, the New York City Department of Buildings is reminding all builders, contractors, and property owners to secure their properties from hazardous conditions. Falling icicles and snow masses from buildings can be dangerous in a dense city such as New York, and can injure pedestrians, damage vehicles, and disrupt transportation if streets must be closed for safety reasons. If sites are not safely secured, the Department of Buildings will take enforcement action with the issuance of violations if necessary. Please call 311 to report non-compliant conditions or 911 to report emergencies at construction sites or buildings.
