Sidewalk shed design requirements.
Status: Laid Over in Committee Committee on Housing and Buildings
Sponsored by Keith Powers
Introduced: February 28, 2024

This bill would create new sidewalk shed design requirements, such as allowing mesh netting as an alternative protection against unsafe facade conditions, disallowing sidewalk sheds in favor of cantilevered platforms during the construction of new major buildings, requiring that sidewalk sheds have a minimum height of 12 feet, and allowing sheds to be painted in a manner that would better blend with their surroundings.
