§ 28-220.2.2 Extensions of time to complete facade repairs.

AC § 28-220.2.2

Upon request by the owner of a building subject to section 28-220.2, the commissioner may grant an extension of time to commence or complete facade repairs according to the timeline in section 28-220.2.1. Such request shall be made to the commissioner in writing, in a form and manner and within such period of time, as determined by the department. Such request shall toll the timeline in section 28-220.2.1 until a decision on such request is made. Such request shall include documentation explaining why such timelines cannot be met, and a contract indicating the scope of repairs and a timeline to complete those repairs. Upon submission of a contract indicating a timeline greater than 2 years, the owner may apply for a single extension, the duration of which shall be determined by the department based on factors such as the size of the building, the scope of necessary work, and the materials necessary to complete such work. The penalties outlined in section 28-220.2.1 may be imposed where facade repairs are not completed within such timeline. The department may charge a fee, to be determined by the department by rule, for each extension request submitted to the department. (L.L. 2025/051, 4/17/2025, eff. 1/12/2026)
