E-Designation
An E-Designation is a New York City (NYC) zoning map designation that indicates the presence of an environmental requirement pertaining to the potential of Hazardous Materials Contamination, Window/Wall Noise Attenuation, or Air Quality impacts on a particular tax lot. E-Designations are established on the Zoning Map by the Department of City Planning (DCP) and City Council as a part of a zoning change/action.
The E-Designation rule sets forth procedures that land owners and developers must follow to satisfy the E-Designations prior to redevelopment, renovation or obtaining of city building permits from the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for projects located within the NYC area. American Environmental is a qualified vendor with the NYC Office of Environmental Remediation (NYC OER) and can assist you with all the required environmental investigations and activities necessary to comply with the E-Designation prior to alteration or redevelopment of your property.
