No. 340-A\n\nBy Council Members Dilan, Brewer, Cabrera, Chin, Comrie, Fidler, Garodnick, Gonzalez, James, Koppell, Koslowitz, Lander, Mark-Viverito, Palma, Vann, Williams, Rodriguez, Van Bramer, Jackson, Dromm, Gennaro, Barron, Eugene, Levin and Halloran\n\nA Local Law to amend the New York city building code, in relation to sun control devices.\n\nBe it enacted by the Council as follows:\n\nSection 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Sun control devices help combat heat gain and prevent glare, decreasing the energy needed to cool a building. Presently, the New York city building code permits these shading devices to project a maximum of 10 inches beyond the street line of a building, thus limiting their effectiveness. This bill would increase the maximum allowable projection of a sun control device beyond the street line of a building to 2 feet 6 inches, in alignment with proposed revisions to the zoning resolution of the city of New York, in order to expand the effectiveness of such sun control device.\n\n* * *\n\n[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]\n\n* * *\n\n§ 11. This local law shall take effect on July 1, 2012.","path":["New York City Administrative Code","2012"],"source_url":"https://files.amlegal.com/pdffiles/NewYorkCity/Admin/XML.zip","current_through":"Local Law 2026/135 (enacted August 31, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T02:48:57Z","sha256":"a15035430accabf1ef751c688aacea8693b8963139aa260c2eb35104928e3870","source_id":"us-nyc","stale":false,"prev":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2012-027","next":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2012-030"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
