"His proposals include removing any shed that has sat on a city property for more than three years. To do this, he says he will prioritize funding for the repairs necessary to remove the structures. He also wants to invest in preventative maintenance to ensure that fewer sheds are needed. It is unclear how much all of that would cost, but the New York Post reported in March that sheds at 130 city-owned properties had been up for more than three years."
"Mamdani also wants to double the amount of time between required facade inspections for newer buildings. Such inspections take place every five years; he wants inspections at newer buildings to take place every 10 years. If this reform sounds familiar, it is because the City Council made a similar change this year, as part of a package of bills aimed at clearing city streets of long-standing sheds."
Mamdani proposes removing any shed that has occupied city property for more than three years, prioritizing funding for repairs needed to remove the structures and investing in preventative maintenance to reduce future sheds. The cost implications remain unclear, while a March New York Post report identified sheds at 130 city-owned properties present for more than three years. Mamdani seeks to double the interval for facade inspections at newer buildings from five to ten years. The City Council enacted a related law directing the Department of Buildings to study inspection intervals and recommend a schedule between six and twelve years, with DOB expected to report by December 2025.
