TECHNOLOGY
TODAY MOBILE APP We developed a new smartphone app that gives New Yorkers easy access to the construction history — and current project information — of nearly 1 million properties throughout the City. Plus, users can receive alerts about our new services and active construction site managers can receive inclement weather warnings.

TOMORROW TABLETS FOR FIELD INSPECTIONS In early 2014, we’ll be deploying our inspectors with new, ruggedized tablets — industry-leading technology for field workforces. With touch-screen technology, this equipment will make it much easier for our inspectors to access critical inspection data — increasing our efficiency and efficacy. These tablets will connect our field teams to the New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN). With this connectivity, our inspectors will be able to spend more time in the field and less time in the office preparing for field inspections.
