“Whether it’s helping a small business open up shop, an affordable housing project get shovels in the ground, a homeowner bring their property up to code, or a tech start-up bring their ideas from lines on paper into the real world, we are committed to utilizing the expertise of our trained professionals here at the Department of Buildings to promote smart and safe development in this city,” said Buildings Commissioner Jimmy Oddo. “The NYC Mass Timber and Resilient Energy Studios gives us the opportunity to work closely with local innovators on their emergent technology projects, so we can help guide them towards the kind of code compliant development which helps to foster local resiliency and improve safety in our built environment.”

“The FDNY has closely engaged with the NYCEDC and DOB on both the Mass Timber Studio and the Resilient Energy Studio. Initiatives like these that streamline communication between regulatory agencies and industry allow us to continue to thread the needle on the City’s climate goals, while upholding the highest levels of fire protection and life safety. That’s wholly due to the expertise and consultation of our staff here at the FDNY,” said FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker.
