"I recognize that if we do the bread and butter stuff, we do the customer service, the customer delivery, then we get permission to do bigger things. This philosophy guides the commissioner's approach to balancing operational excellence with broader policy ambitions at the Department of Buildings."
"This DOB is different from previous DOBs, not only in the work that we're taking on, but just its positioning in the policy and enforcement lineup of City Hall. The agency is moving into the housing and planning space, leveraging its experience as steward of the zoning resolution and contributing to economic development goals."
The Department of Buildings has a new commissioner who previously served as acting commissioner at the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and held roles in the de Blasio administration. The DOB is undergoing significant changes under the current administration, positioning itself as a key player in housing and planning policy. The agency is releasing design specifications for new sidewalk sheds, reforming facade inspection frequency, and improving customer service. The commissioner emphasizes that strong operational execution and customer delivery enable the agency to tackle larger policy initiatives. The DOB is also reviewing its major projects program while serving as steward of the zoning resolution and contributing to the city's economic development goals.
