We provide a full range of access services as an integrated part of our Local Law 11 exterior repair work. This includes sidewalk shed installation and removal, suspended scaffolding, pipe scaffolding, and material hoists.
Proper access planning is critical to Local Law 11 compliance. For buildings with an Unsafe classification, public protection measures must be installed promptly.
Having an experienced contractor who provides both the repair work and the access systems means that access is designed specifically for the repair scope, installed efficiently, and removed as soon as work is complete.
Nova coordinates all access installations with the building’s property manager and DOB requirements, and manages the logistics of working on occupied Manhattan buildings throughout the repair program.
Managing Local Law 11 compliance involves coordinating multiple elements simultaneously:
- access installation
- DOB permits
- repair sequencing
- resident and tenant communication
- final sign-off
When the access contractor and the repair contractor are two separate companies, coordination failures are common.
Nova Construction Services provides both access and exterior repair services under a single contract and a single project manager. This integrated approach means the scaffold or sidewalk shed is designed for the actual repair scope, installed when needed, and removed immediately when work is complete.
