S 6276 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Designates building inspectors in the city of New York as peace officers

This bill designates New York City building inspectors as peace officers when performing their official duties under city law. It grants them limited authority to make arrests related to building code violations during inspections. However, it explicitly states that this designation does not permit inspectors to carry firearms without a separate license under state law. The change applies only to inspectors acting within their defined responsibilities as outlined in the NYC Charter.
