A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to clarifying the health code where approvals from multiple agencies are required

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Section 558 of the New York city charter is amended by adding a new subdivision (i) to read as follows:

(i) Where the health code requires licenses, approvals, or permits from an agency other than the department, the board of health shall ensure, including through coordination with other agencies if necessary, that the relevant health code provisions specify each license, approval, or permit needed and any order in which they must be obtained. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to confer, remove, or transfer any authority with regard to the issuance of licenses, approvals, or permits belonging to the board of health, the department, or any other agency that existed prior to the effective date of this subdivision.

§ 2. This local law takes effect 90 days after it becomes law.
