LOCAL LAW AMENDING SECTION 56-84 OF THE YONKERS CITY CODE TITLED “TEMPORARY SAFEGUARDS FOR DANGEROUS BUILDINGS; COSTS”
body
Be it enacted by the City Council of the City of Yonkers as follows”
Section 1. Section 56-84 if the Yonkers City Code titled “Temporary Safeguards for Dangerous Buildings; Costs” is hereby amended as follows:
§ 56-84 Temporary safeguards for dangerous buildings; costs.
In case there shall be, in the opinion of the Department, imminent danger of the falling of any building, structure or staging or part thereof so as to immediately endanger life or property and require immediate action to protect the public's health and safety, the Department shall may, without prior notice, cause the necessary work to be done to render such building or part thereof temporarily safe. Powers authorized herein are in addition to any action which may be undertaken pursuant to § 56-83. Costs of temporary safeguards shall be paid by the owner, with notice and methods of collection as provided in § 56-83.
Section 2. The action proposed by this local law is determined to be a Type II action under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and its implementing regulations set forth in 6 NYCRR Part 617, as amended (collectively “SEQRA”) as it involves routine or continuing agency administration and management and does not constitute a new program or major reordering of priorities that may affect the environment. Therefore, no further environmental review pursuant to SEQRA is required.
Section 3. This local law shall take effect in accordance with the Charter of the City of Yonkers and applicable law.
