A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to including environmental concerns as a guiding principle and purpose of the New York city construction codes.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Environmental concerns are not currently expressly stated as a purpose within the intent provisions of the New York city construction codes, although they are implicitly incorporated within such purposes as concerns affecting the public welfare. The Council finds that environmental concerns are of sufficient importance to the city that they should be expressly recognized as a guiding principle and interest in the New York city construction codes.
