The New York City Department of Buildings is mandated to keep the City’s Construction and Electrical Codes. The Department has organized a series of Committees to assist with drafting revisions to the New York City Construction and Electrical Codes and to review material related to the development of the New York City Existing Building Code, which will govern alterations to existing and prior code buildings.
For additional information regarding the Code Revision processes, please refer to the 2023 Code Revision Handbook and the 2018 Electrical Code Revision Handbook. To apply to become a member for the next Code revision cycle please see the instructions and complete application.
