The Mayor’s Office of Operations worked with the City’s rulemaking agencies, the Law Department and the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget, to conduct a retrospective rules review of the City’s existing rules. The retrospective rules review identified those rules that will be repealed or modified to reduce regulatory burdens, increase equity, support small businesses, and simplify and update content to help support public understanding and compliance. This proposed rule amendment was identified through this initiative.
DCLA’s authority for these rules is found in section 1043 of the New York City Charter and section 276 of the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law.
