NEW YORK CITY-Making good on a promise first announced in January, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on Wednesday published assessment records and conformance status for all of its facilities in New York and New Jersey. The records were posted to the Port Authority’s website and will be updated annually.

The inspection and conformance records cover the agency’s airports, bridges, tunnels and terminals, port and PATH facilities as well as Port Authority-controlled World Trade Center buildings, according to a release. A report encompassing the records includes an interactive facility map that allows users to see assessment schedules for each facility, a survey of the construction projects completed by the agency using its code conformance process and a complete inventory of each facility’s component parts that are subject to code conformance, such as façade, boilers, refrigeration systems and elevators, the authority says.

In a statement, Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer lauds the authority for making the information public, and adds, “Now it’s time for other property owners exempted from city safety codes to follow the Port Authority’s lead. Code exemptions for regional authorities and federal and foreign buildings create a patchwork of regulation that is confusing and dangerous, putting first responders and the public at risk. The Port Authority’s work is a road map for fixing this problem and saving lives.”
