City shows off models of proposed sidewalk sheds
The New York City Department of Buildings displayed two prototype sidewalk shed designs outside its headquarters. The designs, created by Arup and Practice for Architecture and Urbanism, aim to be less visually intrusive while still complying with Local Law 11. Officials say the new models are a modest improvement but do not address the broader regulatory issues that drive extensive scaffolding in the city.
- ▪The DOB set up two prototype sheds on the sidewalk at 280 Broadway to showcase the proposed designs.
- ▪Leila Bozorg, the deputy mayor for housing and planning, said the new sheds will let residents see the sky while maintaining safety.
- ▪The prototypes were designed by architectural firms Arup and Practice for Architecture and Urbanism, featuring lighter colors and partially transparent roofs.
- ▪Local Law 11, which mandates extensive scaffolding for facade work, remains largely unchanged despite recent tweaks by the former Eric Adams administration.

They’re less blatantly offensive than the familiar, hulking steel-and-green wood eyesores. But no one should mistake them for a real solution to the scaffold scourge. Images of the prototype sheds were shown last year, but real ones are set up for the first time on the sidewalk outside DOB headquarters at 280 Broadway.
