No one wants to think about large scale disaster- but we have to plan anyway. Spent the am with the pros at Department of Buildings NYC Emergency Management FDNY practicing inspections of our city’s 1M buildings. We’re always ready for what comes our way.



Hurricane season is coming up on June 1 and DOB is sticking by the old adage, fail to prepare, prepare to fail ⚠️ Our team put that mindset into action last week, when we conducted full scale emergency training at Fort Totten in Queens. Spectrum News NY1 ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

Conducted in collaboration with FDNY, NYC Emergency Management, MTA, and NYC Housing, this annual training event includes rehearsals of emergency protocols for wide-scale natural disasters affecting buildings in an urban environment. Learn more: nyc.gov/site/buildings…

Being one of NYC’s strongest is hard work NYC Sanitation Stopped by New York Hall of Science to talk flood mitigation, pausing for some fun at their new CityWorks exhibit- sorting fact from fiction (…and plastic from cardboard.)


Congratulations to today’s graduating class of Department of Buildings inspectors. You worked hard- 500 hours of classroom training, 80 separate courses- to keep NYers safe across 1 million (!) buildings. This is just the beginning. We thank you!
