Steps
Pull BC 3307.6.5 for sidewalk shed maintenance, repair, and inspection duties.
Pull BC 3314.1.1 for supported-scaffold height-measurement rules, including the requirement to include underlying temporary-equipment height (e.g., a shed beneath a supported scaffold) in the total height calculation.
Pull BC 3314.2 for the permit-requirement threshold language for supported scaffolds.
Pull BC 3314.3.1 (supported/outrigger scaffold design) and BC 3314.3.2 (suspended scaffold design) for the RDP-design trigger conditions.
Confirm who bears maintenance/use responsibility for a sidewalk shed under the Code: the General Contractor, or absent a GC, the contractor causing the work, or absent active work, the building owner.
Known gotchas
NYC Building Code chapter/section numbering has changed across code revisions (e.g., 2014 vs. later code cycles) — confirm which code edition governs the specific project's filing date before citing a section number.
amlegal.com hosts the codified Admin Code / Building Code text but is a third-party publisher, not the City's own site — cross-check against nyc.gov's official Building Code PDF viewer for anything load-bearing.
