NYC Mayor Eric Adams launched the "Get Sheds Down" program to address unsightly sidewalk sheds & scaffolding, found to financially drain Manhattan businesses ($4,000-$9,500/month). The program enforces existing law, incentivizes nicer-looking sheds, & removes 173 miles of sheds since its initiation. Mayor Adams is working with the City Council on bills to change shed appearance, duration, & penalties for building owners delaying repairs.
