PREFACE Background ‘The 014 New York Cty Construction Coe, effective October 1, 2014, ae paterned se the family of model constuction des publishes by te Intemational Coe Council (ICC). While the ICC Codes, with tee interpetve content and history ‘of amendients, wil in the fate beach ne source for interpreting th City's ulding laws, New York Cty ha extensively ‘modified the ICC text. AS modified, the eovisions incorporate the collective wisdom of more than 350 yeas of balding regulation ate iy. ‘Nev York City was the fist jurisdiction inthe country to experene the problems associated with building construction na high-density urban envroament and the int osterpt to sale them tough regulatory measercs. tn 1625, the Dutch West India Company established rales forthe ype nd loeatios of hoases that cond be but athe colony’ of New Amsterdam. This cel atempt at meeting public safety and sanitation needs would evel noone ofthe most comprehensive balding cies ‘he United Stes, ‘Based inially on fre prevention pices, the City's regulation evolved into provision governing sanitation and buldag onsuction and materials. From het statin he ae 17h century, o cretion of he position of “Supantnden of Buiings" within the Fire Department in 1860, o cretion of citywide Deparenent of Buildings in 1936, through comprehensive revisions in 1938, 1968 and 2008, the City’s bling code grew to become one ofthe most trngent inthe nain. The 1938 revisions ‘ere gered toward capturing provisions to meet he neds of new skyscrapers and moliple dwellings. The 1968 revisions were sesigned to incorporate new technologies and building practices, including performance etre building comsction, Altes the collapse ofthe World Trade Centers in 201, the City recognized the need to comprehensively review and modernize the 1968 Building Code wo being constuction requirements upto de. Acng upon the recorimendaton ofthe Mayor's 2003 Advisory Commission, the NYC Ml Code Progra was hor, owed fm and sppered by te Cy".

This ‘wor culminated inthe passage of Local Law 99 of 2008 and Lacal Law 33 of 2007, aio known a the 2008 New York Cty CConsrction Codes. An important etre ofthe legislation was the mandatory three-year revision eee sem designed 1 prevent code standards from becoming obsolete fr wat ely eevisn.
