The annual New York City Construction Safety Report indicates a significant decline in construction-related injuries and fatalities, with a 30% reduction in 2024 compared to the previous year. Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Buildings Commissioner Jimmy Oddo attributed this success to enhanced oversight, new licensing mandates, and advanced technology for safety compliance. In addition to safety improvements, initial building permits surged by over 24% in 2024. The report aims to enhance transparency within city government and the construction industry regarding safety and progress.

"...even one life lost is one too many. We will keep pushing relentlessly for safer work sites..."
