CAN THE TPP APPLICANT OF RECORD PERFORM THE TENANT PROTECTION COMPLIANCE SPECIAL INSPECTION?

Section 28-120.1 of the New York City Administrative Code requires the registered design professional preparing the tenant protection plan to be retained by the General Contractor. Section 1704.1.1.2 of the Building Code requires the Special Inspection Agency and inspectors to be independent of the contractor responsible for the work. Therefore, the RDP preparing the TPP is not permitted to be the Special Inspector.
