I'm doing a story on several new local laws that were passed at the end of 2013.

Two new key Local Laws have to do with inspections of retaining walls and inspections of balconies. The balcony law was rolled into LL 11 - so from now on, when you do your LL 11 you have to do more when it comes to balconies. I'm looking to speak to board members who are now planning for this because their LL 11 is up soon.

When it comes to retaining walls - by the end of 2014 anyone with a retaining wall in the Bronx must have it inspected by a qualified engineer. Do you have a Bronx condo/co-op and are now looking at having this done?

Would love to speak to board members planning/thinking or concerned about these new laws. You can leave contact info here or email me at jvhughes(at)verizon.net

Thanks!

Best,

Jen
