Abstract
Towards the end of 2008, the New York City Buildings Department became aware that wind turbines had been installed on a couple of rooftops. The department is and has been firmly in favor of sustainable initiatives, but there were concerns these installations had insufficient engineering control. New York City's high density of buildings and pedestrian traffic create a condition where any loose and free-falling piece of equipment may result in a severe accident.
