Compliance & Legal Information

SiteVerity is engineered to satisfy all technical and operational standards established in NYC Department of Buildings Bulletin BB 2024-007 (issued December 19, 2024) for digital record-keeping systems used by construction contractors and site safety professionals across the five boroughs.

When properly configured and utilized in accordance with NYC DOB guidelines and company safety plans, SiteVerity enables licensed General Contractors, Site Safety Managers (SSM), Site Safety Coordinators (SSC), and Construction Superintendents to maintain fully compliant, audit-ready digital records directly on-site.

The 4 Pillars of SiteVerity Compliance

Supported DOB-Compliant Records

SiteVerity supports digital creation, immutable cryptographic signing, and one-click PDF export for the following mandatory and recommended NYC DOB documents:

• Site Safety Logs (BC 3310.8.4): Real-time digital logging of site conditions, daily safety personnel entries, and corrective safety orders.
• Construction Superintendent Logs (BC 3301.13.13): Daily superintendent logs tracking on-site trades, deliveries, safety inspections, and site conditions.
• Worker Safety Orientations & Pre-Task Meetings: Digital worker orientation logs with captured worker acknowledgment and Local Law 196 validation.
• Scaffold Inspection Logs: Pre-shift inspections for suspended scaffolds (swing stages) and supported scaffolds with foreman sign-offs.
• Accident & Incident Reports: Standardized, timestamped documentation of job site incidents, injuries, or hazardous conditions.
• SST & OSHA 30 Live Badge Tracking: Verification of active worker credentials before assignment to project crews.
• DOB Permit Vault: Centralized repository and automated expiration alerts for sidewalk sheds, construction fences, and work permits.

• Is SiteVerity approved by the NYC Department of Buildings?

  The NYC Department of Buildings does not issue individual product endorsements or approvals for software. Instead, Bulletin BB 2024-007 establishes objective technical standards that digital record-keeping systems must satisfy. SiteVerity is engineered to satisfy all technical criteria outlined in BB 2024-007. However, contractors are responsible for maintaining accurate entries and consulting with their legal advisors.

• Does SiteVerity meet BB 2024-007 requirements?

  Yes. SiteVerity implements all required technical controls specified in Bulletin BB 2024-007, including SHA-256 cryptographic document hashing, ESRA-compliant electronic signatures, secure multi-factor and PIN worker authentication, immutable audit trails, and automated 6-year secure archival.

• Can I use SiteVerity during an on-site NYC DOB inspection?

  Yes. SiteVerity enables superintendents, safety managers, and foremen to generate instant, audit-ready PDF logs directly from tablets or mobile devices on-site. The records include cryptographic verification hashes and timestamps that can be presented immediately to DOB inspectors.

• What happens when a DOB inspector requests historical site records?

  SiteVerity maintains automated cloud archival for a minimum of 6 years in accordance with NYC Building Code requirements. Historical records can be searched by project, date range, worker, scaffold drop, or permit number, and exported into structured PDF dossiers in seconds.

• Is there a legal disclaimer contractors should be aware of?

  Yes. While SiteVerity provides the digital infrastructure to meet BB 2024-007 standards, the software does not substitute for qualified, licensed site supervision. Under NYC Law, the contractor and designated safety professionals remain solely accountable for the accuracy, truthfulness, and completeness of all job site entries and physical safety conditions.
