Interior lighting & maintenance
We install and maintain the code-required lighting beneath the shed so pedestrians can see the walkway at night. We handle the fixtures, wiring, and lighting repairs needed to keep the covered path illuminated.
Outlets & equipment power
We provide outlets and power for the shed company’s own tools and equipment. We review the available electrical supply and your equipment requirements to plan the circuits and connections for the job.
The permit & the pedestrian path
Lighting is part of
the shed’s safety requirements.
NYC code requires an electrical permit for sidewalk shed lighting. DOB’s sidewalk shed checklist states that the electrical application must be filed and permitted before the sidewalk shed permit is obtained.
The underside of the shed must remain illuminated by daylight or electric light. We install and maintain the interior lighting so pedestrians can see beneath the shed after dark, with the electrical work coordinated around the project’s requirements.
