The provisions of this Section shall apply within #flood zones#. The provisions of this Section are subject to all provisions of
Title 28 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York and Appendix G of the New York City Building Code, or its
successors, including those pertaining to expiration, reinstatement, revocation and suspension. Changes in #flood maps# shall be
considered an amendment of the Zoning Resolution for the purposes of applying the provisions of Section 11-30 (BUILDING
PERMITS ISSUED BEFORE EFFECTIVE DATE OF AMENDMENT).

(a)    Construction approved pursuant to previous versions of #flood maps#

        If, within one year prior to a change in the #flood maps# affecting a property, the Department of Buildings issued a
        building permit for construction on that property pursuant to the previous #flood maps#, the provisions of Article VI,
        Chapter 4 (Special Regulations Applying in Flood Hazard Areas) shall be deemed modified so as to substitute the
        previous #flood maps# for the current #flood maps# and such construction may continue pursuant to such prior #flood
        maps# until two years after the date of adoption of the new #flood maps#. After this date, the vesting provisions of
        Section 11-30 shall apply.

(b)    Provisions applying when Appendix A (Special Regulations for Neighborhood Recovery) of Article VI, Chapter 4
        expires

        This provision shall become effective only upon the expiration of Appendix A of Article VI, Chapter 4, adopted on July
        23, 2015. If a building permit authorizing construction pursuant to Appendix A has been approved on or before the
        expiration of such Appendix, construction may continue up to two years after the expiration. After such date, the
        provisions of Section 11-30 shall apply.
