a. On July 1, 2025, and on July 1 of each year thereafter, the department of citywide administrative services shall prepare a report summarizing purchase orders for vehicles and charging infrastructure made pursuant to section 24-163.1. Such report shall describe the effect, if any, of the purchase of vehicles and charging infrastructure required pursuant to section 24-163.1 on city employees, including but not limited to, summarizing any needs relating to training for city employees, any programs being planned to meet those needs, and any changes in the functions or duties of city employees as a result of such purchase.
b. The report required pursuant to this section shall include the following information regarding any planned purchase of vehicles and charging infrastructure, pursuant to section 24-163.1, to the extent available, for the subsequent reporting period:
(1) an estimate of the number of funded agency positions that would be eliminated or substantially changed as a result of any such planned purchase;
(2) a description of any loss of projected position or partial displacement, such as a reduction in hours of non-overtime work or reduction in wages anticipated as a result of any such planned purchase;
(3) the number of agency positions expected to be created by any such planned purchase; and
(4) plans, if any, to transition, train, or retrain city employees as a result of the purchase of vehicles and charging infrastructure required pursuant to section 24-163.1.

Editor's note: For related unconsolidated provisions, see Appendix A at L.L. 2023/140.
(a) Whenever the use of an air contaminant detector is required by this code, the air contaminant detector must automatically cause both an audible signal sufficiently loud to be heard by a person of normal hearing twenty feet from the detector and a readily visible flashing red light upon the emission of an air contaminant of a density which appears darker than number one on the standard smoke chart, or of an opacity which obscures vision to a degree greater than smoke of number one density on the standard smoke chart.
(b) The signaling devices of the air contaminant detector shall also be located at the principal work location of the person supervising the equipment.
(c) If two or more units of equipment are connected to a single flue, one air contaminant detector may be used if installed to monitor all of the units.
(d) If the light source of a photoelectric type of air contaminant detector fails to operate properly, the detector must automatically cause an audible signal sufficiently loud to be heard by a person of normal hearing twenty feet away from the detector and a readily visible flashing red light which shall continue to operate until manually reset.
(e) Whenever the use of an air contaminant recorder is required by this code, the air contaminant recorder must:
(1) continuously produce a record of the time, duration, concentration and density of an air contaminant of a density which appears darker than number one on the standard smoke chart, or of an opacity which obscures vision to a degree greater than number one; or
(2) continuously produce a record of the time, duration, and concentration of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides by volume and particulate matter by weight.
(f) The record made by the air contaminant recorder shall be dated and retained on the premises where the recorder is located for a period of sixty days from the last date appearing on the record.
(g) The commissioner may recommend to the board that there shall be no civil penalty imposed for a first violation of this section if, within forty five days of the return date set forth on the notice of violation, the respondent admits liability for the violation and files a certification with the department in a form and manner and containing such information and documentation as shall be prescribed in the department's rules that the work has been performed to permanently correct the violation. If the commissioner accepts such certification of compliance, he or she shall recommend to the board that no civil penalty shall be imposed for the violation. Such violation may nevertheless serve as a predicate for purposes of imposing penalties for subsequent violations of this section.

(a) Whenever the use of a combustion shutoff is required by this code or by the commissioner, the combustion shutoff must automatically halt the operation of fuel burning equipment using fuel oil within two minutes after the emission of an air contaminant of a density which appears darker than number one on the standard smoke chart, or of an opacity which obscures vision to a degree greater than smoke of number one density on the standard smoke chart.
(b) No person shall cause or permit the resumption of the normal operation of the fuel burning equipment whose operation was halted by a combustion shutoff until the equipment operates in accordance with the standards of this code.
(c) The commissioner may recommend to the board that there shall be no civil penalty imposed for a first violation of this section if, within forty five days of the return date set forth on the notice of violation, the respondent admits liability for the violation and files a certification with the department in a form and manner and containing such information and documentation as shall be prescribed in the department's rules that the work has been performed to permanently correct the violation. If the commissioner accepts such certification of compliance, he or she shall recommend to the board that no civil penalty shall be imposed for the violation. Such violation may nevertheless serve as a predicate for purposes of imposing penalties for subsequent violations of this section.
