Starting on June 1st, 2022, the number of projects under the supervision of a DOB-licensed Construction Superintendent will be limited to five (5).
Pursuant to section 3301.13.6 of the 2014 NYC Construction Code, which was amended on January 1st of this year by Local Law 149 of 2021, the rule gradually limits the number of construction projects for which a Construction Superintendent may be designated. These limits are being phased over a multi-year timeline as follows:
As of June 1, 2022, no individual may be designated as a Primary Construction Superintendent for more than five projects.
During the calendar year 2024, the number of projects a Primary Construction Superintendent can oversee will be reduced to three. Additionally, with the implementation of the new code, a Construction Superintendent assigned to a Major Project, may serve only that project.
Finally, during the calendar year 2026, the number of projects a Primary Construction Superintendent can oversee will be reduced to one – for all types of projects.
This plan has the ultimate effect of requiring each construction site to have a dedicated Construction Superintendent by 2026.
