The purpose of the proposed amendments to Section 3606-01 of Chapter 3600 of Title 1 of the Rules of the City of New York is to codify the current process by which the Department of Buildings, as the flood plain administrator and as required by BC G103.1, determines whether a structure located in a special flood hazard area has sustained substantial damage and to establish a clear notice and appeals procedure for property owners.
