NYS Halts All Non-Essential Construction

On March 27, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an order requiring all “non-essential” construction in the State to shut down, with the exception of (i) emergency projects necessary to protect the health and safety of building occupants; and (ii) projects that would be unsafe to shut down when incomplete, which may continue until they can be safely shut down. The order is discussed in Section 9 of this guidance, and a further discussion may be found here.
