New York City's notoriously strict building codes and regulations have led one engineer to make a startling claim: it's nearly impossible to find a building in the city without a violation. According to a recent interview with a construction industry expert, the city's complex web of rules and regulations has created a culture of non-compliance, where even the most well-intentioned builders and property owners often find themselves on the wrong side of the law. This phenomenon has significant implications for the city's construction industry, from costly fines and penalties to the potential for safety hazards. As the city continues to grapple with issues of affordability and accessibility, experts are questioning whether the current regulatory environment is doing more harm than good.
