New York State’s “pause” will now be applied to non-essential construction as announced today by Governor Andrew Cuomo. In another step to stop the spread of COVID-19, contractors on residential and commercial building projects are to wind down. Enforcement will be provided by the state in coordination with the city/local governments, and fines of up to $10,000 per violation will be assessed.
Construction projects for the public good, such as infrastructure and transportation, emergency repairs, hospital and affordable housing building will be allowed to continue.
