Bikes in Buildings
The Bikes in Buildings Law (local law 52 of 2009) encourages bicycle commuting by providing cyclists with secure parking during the workday. The law requires commercial office buildings to provide access to employees who request to bring their bikes into the building. The law becomes effective on December 11, 2009.

Local law 51 of 2009 requires public parking garages to provide at least one bicycle parking space for every ten car parking spaces.  The new law became effective November 11, 2009 and is overseen by the Department of Consumer Affairs.  Parking garage operators may apply for a waiver to the new requirement if compliance violates existing zoning regulations for their garage.
