City Takes Project Review to the Web

NEW YORK CITY-The Bloomberg administration will give the public an online peek at proposed new buildings and 30 days to challenge zoning decisions.

By Paul Bubny | Updated on February 03, 2009

NEW YORK CITY-Diagrams of proposed new buildings or major enlargements will be put on the web for members of the public to see, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced Monday afternoon. Reportedly the first of its kind in the US, the online posting is one of two reforms intended to give the public a greater voice in the development process.

Under the reforms announced by Bloomberg, deputy mayor Edward Skyler and buildings commissioner Robert LiMandri, architects and engineers filing applications for new buildings and major enlargements will be required to submit diagrams, which will be available at www.nyc.gov. The diagrams will detail critical information that can be used by the public to determine whether a project is in compliance with required zoning regulations, according to a release from Bloomberg’s office. These diagrams will include the size of the project, drawn to scale, and where a building will sit in relation to the street.
