New York City is facing a significant problem with sidewalk sheds, particularly at city-owned buildings. Roughly 500 buildings have scaffolding, some remaining for over a decade. This situation has prompted City Council members to propose legislation allowing the city to oversee renovations on private properties. Mayor Eric Adams' 'Get Sheds Down' initiative aimed to address the issue, but with a large number of sheds still in place, many New Yorkers doubt the city's competence in managing its properties before tackling private landlord issues.
Despite the city claiming it is cracking down on sidewalk sheds, nearly 500 city-owned buildings still have scaffolding, with some structures remaining up for over a decade.
City Council members are proposing a bill for the city to take over renovations from private landlords, but skepticism arises as the city has its own unaddressed scaffolding issues.
