The new NYC Construction Codes enhance safety while providing opportunities for cost savings, efficiency, and sustainable building. Putting safety front and center, the new Codes preserve the best of the current code and enhance requirements for fire protection, construction safety, and structural integrity requirements for new buildings.

A consensus-building model was used to develop the new construction codes for New York City. Thirteen technical committees established by the Department of Buildings' Model Code Program reviewed the International Codes (I-Codes) and the current New York City Building Code line-by-line, incorporating referenced standards from the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and other national organizations and modifying the I-Codes for New York's unique, dense, and urban environment.

The new codes apply to new buildings and construction, although select provisions, including those regarding enforcement and construction safety, will apply to all work performed following the effective date of the new codes.

Because the I-Codes that will form the basis of the new codes are already used in New York State, New Jersey, and 48 states across the country, many industry professionals are already familiar with their format. Additionally, the Department of Buildings will partner with educational providers to implement a training program for Department staff and for the affected communities.

The New NYC Construction Codes may be viewed in their local law format via the Department's website at: www.nyc.gov/buildings. Click on the "NYC Construction Codes" button the navigation bar on the left side of the page. The International Code Council will be publishing the new codes and is currently preparing them for print. Once they are published, they may be purchased at the City Store.
