Sidewalk Scaffolding Sheds are required for a building that is under construction or renovation phases. It is a legal requirement by NYC’s DOB to put up appropriate sidewalk sheds and then begin with the construction, demolition or repairing work so that pedestrian safety can be guaranteed. These sheds are of different kinds and are erected on two primary basis;
1. Temporary Sidewalk Sheds.
These sheds, hired from an NYC Sidewalk Rental Service, are erected when there is an ongoing constriction work for a building that is at least 40 feet in height; Demolition of a building is in the process that stands at 25 feet at least or even when the façade restoration work is required. Usually, these scaffolding sheds are of a steel and plywood base, therefore, providing versatility in their design for complex construction jobs.
The permits for these sidewalk sheds are issued on an initial one-year validity. The property owner must dismantle them once the construction work completes. However, renewals can be made depending on the extent of construction.
2. Permanent Sidewalk Sheds.
Permanent Sidewalk Sheds are erected for the buildings whose façade is of unreliable condition i.e. loose bricks, falling paint and mortar, tilted structure, and other structural stability inefficiencies. So, in order to protect the building’s historical and architectural significance as well as provide a safe walkway for pedestrians; these sidewalk sheds are of great use. Usually, permanent sidewalk sheds are referred to as ‘Sidewalk Bridges’ and are made of sturdy steel structures.
