Require Contact Info Posted at Construction Work Sites
In committee as of Mar 25, 2026Under review by an assigned committee.
✦ Plain-Language Summary
This law would require construction sites across NYC to post the name and phone number of a real person you can contact if there are problems or questions about the work being done. Currently, signs at work sites and sidewalk sheds may only list company names without a direct contact. This makes it easier for residents to reach someone responsible when construction causes issues in their neighborhood.

Official Description
This bill would require inclusion of the name of an individual to contact at the place of business of a property owner or contractor listed on Department of Buildings (“DOB”) “Work in Progress” information panels at work sites and sidewalk shed information panels. This bill would also require listing a phone number for the permit holder on DOB permits. Posting such individual contact information at work sites would facilitate contacting the relevant business if necessary about questions or problems at the site.
