A 6289 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Expands remedies for violations of New York state uniform fire prevention and building code

This bill increases penalties for violations of New York's building and fire safety codes. It creates two penalty tiers: for non-imminent violations, fines escalate from $1,000 to $50 per day; for violations deemed "imminent threats" (e.g., immediate safety risks), fines start at $1,000-$5,000 per day for the first offense, rising to $5,000-$10,000 for a second violation, and $10,000+ for a third. The law directly affects building owners, contractors, architects, and others who fail to comply with code orders or knowingly violate safety standards. Penalties apply per day of non-compliance and are enforced through local governments or the state secretary.
