City Council Legislation: Bills and Local Laws

This dataset contains information on New York City bills from 1998 through 2024.

The New York City Council is the City’s legislative body, responsible for proposing, debating, and voting on legislation that affects all aspects of city governance. The legislative process for Introductions in NYC follows these steps:

Bill Introduced – A bill is introduced by a Council Member and assigned a number.

Committee Hearings – The bill is referred to a committee for review, where public hearings may be held for discussion, public comment, and stakeholder engagement.

Committee Vote – The committee votes on whether to advance the bill to the full Council.

Full Council Vote – If approved by the committee, the bill is voted on by the entire Council. A majority vote is required for passage.

Mayoral Action – Once passed by the Council, the bill is sent to the Mayor, who may sign it into law, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature. If vetoed, the Council can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote.

Enactment – Once signed or passed via override, the bill is assigned a local law number and becomes part of the city’s legal code. Bills may be enacted immediately, or upon a date defined in the bill.

This dataset provides information on all introductions, regardless of whether they were enacted.

Summary
This bill would amend the building code to require that sidewalk sheds installed after June 1, 2019 comply with new design requirements. Specifically, it would require new design elements for sidewalk sheds including (1) the use of light-transmitting plastic material to construct the sidewalk shed; (2) the elimination of braces below a height of 8 feet above the sidewalk; (3) the use of adjustable feet that pivot as part of the vertical beams supporting the sidewalk shed; and (4) the installation of LED lights to fulfill the lighting requirements of sidewalk sheds. The new criteria would not apply to sidewalk sheds that are installed before June 1, 2019 but would affect sidewalk sheds for which renewal permits are sought after such date.
