Port Authority to Make Public Inspection Records and Conformance Status for All Agency Facilities

Summary

---

"This initiative is an important way for us to ensure the public and first responders that the Port Authority has been working diligently to make sure its public facilities conform with applicable building and fire codes and are safe for the hundreds of thousands of people who go through them every year. The Port Authority's initiative is an example that should be followed by other state, federal and international entities who are technically exempt from city building and safety standards," Mr. [Scott M. Stringer] said

Port Authority Chairman Anmony R. Coscia said, "Annual reporting on our code conformance marks another step in our longstanding efforts to make the business of the Port Authority transparent to the public we serve. It also underscores our foremost commitment to the safety and security of Port Authority customers and tenants, as well as to first responders who deserve to know that our facilities conform to local building and fire code standards."

Port Authority Executive Director [Chris Ward] said, "We've worked diligently with New York City building and fire officials to make sure our buildings are safe, secure and in conformance with all local building and fire codes. Today's action will allow the public to see what we've done so they can track our progress and judge for themselves."
