					As of July 8, 2021, Buildings has rescinded the guidance 
					allowing enforcement of health and safety rules to help stop 
					the spread of COVID. 
					The Department has rescinded previously issued 
					Guidance and Buildings Bulletins related to the COVID-19 
					public health emergency for construction. Due to changes in 
					New York State guidelines, property owners and contractors 
					no longer have to observe the following: 
						
						
						DOB Phase 1: Reopening Guidance, previously 
						issued more than a year ago.
						
						BB 2020-010: How to reopen construction sites 
						that were shut down due to the pandemic.
						
						BB 2020-006: How to secure construction sites 
						that were shut down due to the pandemic.
						
						BB 2020-015: The temporary use of hotels by 
						educational institutions as dormitories.
						
						BB 2021-008: Determining a headcount of persons 
						for in-door dining or other food services 
					Now that New York is reopening, you will find these 
					bulletins on the DOB website with a "RESCINDED" stamp on the 
					document. It means that they no longer apply to any 
					projects, moving forward. To 
					view current bulletins, you may visit
					here. |
