Circa Central Park, a luxurious apartment on the Higher West Aspect, has already confronted challenges in adopting bird-friendly measures. Based on NYC Chook Alliance, it is among the three deadliest buildings for birds in NYC.

To mitigate the problem, the apartment put in dot stickers on home windows to make the glass extra seen to birds, spending round $60,000 on updates to the home windows and railings.

Whereas REBNY helps lowering fowl collisions, it has really helpful exemptions for landmark buildings, rent-stabilized buildings, and reasonably priced housing. A REBNY spokesperson expressed skepticism concerning the new invoice, stating, “We are still reviewing this legislation, but we are skeptical such a radical step is warranted or achievable.”
