"These supposedly temporary structures, required for building maintenance and construction, have been a fixture on our streets for far too long. While sheds are needed at times, we need to deal with the ones that languish unchecked to make sure they don't impede economic development and quality of life."
"With 150 projects completed since its 2004 rezoning, 18 projects under construction, and another 26 planned, Downtown Brooklyn is very familiar with this type of shed. These necessary sheds can be improved with legislation like Intro 391 that would elevate their appearance, making them more attractive, safer, and less intrusive on pedestrian space."
"Intro 393 would address this by creating timeframes for the removal of sheds in the absence of active work. Intro 661 doubles down on this effort, enforcing penalties on property owners who fail to apply for necessary work within six months of installing a shed."
