    Acting Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri says the new codes will “raise construction safety standards to a level never seen before.”

    The changes include a new violation classification system that will allow buildings inspectors to focus on sites posing the greatest risk to the public.

    The city also will use third-party inspectors at critical points in the construction process and require sprinklers in more buildings.
