Construction Accidents Drop + Permits Rise in 2011

Construction-related accidents and
injuries declined for the second
consecutive year, Mayor Bloomberg
announced last week at a Long Island City
residential tower under construction. In
2011, there were 18% fewer accidents
and almost 8% fewer injuries. This
decrease came as construction permits
rose nearly 8% citywide. These improvements
are in line with last year's
near-historic low in the number of fatal
fires, 10th consecutive year of fewer
than 600 murders and a record-breaking
low number of traffic fatalities.

Simplify Project Information

Our new Construction Information
Panel Pilot Program consolidates
project information into one,
easy-to-understand sign. This new format
answers people's questions about
upcoming buildings
—
and makes construction sites look better. The new
design, which requires prior approval
from the Department, combines permit postings,
contractor information and a project
rendering.
