NEW YORK CITY LAW• It’s the LAW
– Local Law 26 -On June 7, 2004, just weeks following hearings held by the Federal 9/11 Commission, the City Council Committee on Housing and Buildings voted to make New York City high-rise buildings safer. By adopting 13 of 21 recommendations made by the World Trade Center Building Code Task Force, New York City is making good on some lessons learned from the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.
• A section of the code requires that by July 1, 2006, all high rise office buildings (75 feet or taller) and all high rise commercial buildings in New York City shall be equipped with approved photoluminescent material. Only products approved by the Department of Buildings' Materials Equipment Acceptance Division ("MEA") shall be installed.
