Because of NYC Local Law 11, workers are assembling scaffolding from bottom to top and around the outside of Lenox Health Greenwich Village building. This process will take up to 6 months or more to complete.<br />
 <br />
Local Law 11 was passed and signed into law in 1980 after  a student was killed in May 1979 by a piece of terra cotta that  fell from a building.   <br />
<br />
Under that law, the facades of buildings of more than six stories had to be  inspected every five years by a licensed engineer or architect and certified as  safe. Serious deficiencies had to be corrected and the building given a second  inspection.<br />
