The Department of Buildings (DOB) is proposing to amend its rules to provide specificity and uniformity on the duties and inspections performed by a licensed construction superintendent.
The proposed rule specifies the minimum set of tasks a construction superintendent is expected to perform in fulfilling their code obligations of maintaining a safe site, ensuring compliance with Chapter 33, and ensuring compliance with approved documents. This rule also proposes that the inspection performed by the construction superintendent, at sites that do not require a site safety manager or coordinator, is, at a minimum, the same as that performed by a site safety manager or coordinator. Such inspection by a construction superintendent must comply with the same list of items to be inspected as specified in section 3310-01 of these rules.
This proposed rule will require that the construction superintendent record in a log the results of the inspection performed. The rule also cross references other obligations of the construction superintendent, including the obligation under Section 3301.13.9 of the New York City Building Code to correct unsafe conditions, and includes statements to make clear the rule does not diminish any other responsibility the code imposes upon the construction superintendent.
A public hearing was set for 10/28/24.🀰
