The First Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Department of Buildings reviewed recent initiatives regarding site safety, stalled sites, demolition, concrete testing, and the urbanSHED competition. Subsequent presentations focused on concrete testing issues, the behavior of historic masonry buildings, online resources for structural research of historical buildings, and the new demolition filing requirements. A summary of the presentations will be available on the DOB website shortly.
