调节建筑物的高度。
授权纽约市估价委员会限制建筑物高度和为此目的对城市进行分区的法案已经由市长签署，它为在消防和卫生方面取得更大的成就提供了可能性。现在，在所有大型部门都有配备了长达85英尺的伸缩梯的空中卡车，很明显，如果把建筑物的高度限制在80英尺，灭火工作将很容易在它们的工作半径范围内进行。这种建筑高度管制项目是美国其他城市采用的，而欧洲城市一直存在着低矮的建筑。密尔沃基允许高度为225英尺，波士顿允许高度为80到125英尺。几乎所有的西欧城市都有这样的建筑:苏黎世43英尺、巴黎65.6英尺、柏林72英尺、伦敦80英尺。目前，纽约对建筑物高度的唯一直接限制是把公寓和廉价公寓的高度限制为邻近最宽街道宽度的1.5倍。曼哈顿的平均建筑高度是五层。需要处理的一个重要因素是，消防部门必须依赖150英尺以上的竖管，这就妨碍了他们的工作。在波士顿、芝加哥和华盛顿，监管是自由的，但实际上很有效。主要的问题是控制的方法。 As outlined by a recent report to the New York Board of Estimate, restrictions of height may be uniform for all buildings; uniform for each of several classes of buildings; or uniform for a given class in a given district. All cities that have given serious attention to the subject have discovered the necessity for a division into districts, each with its own regulations. An arbitrary limit, uniform for the whole city, may be too inflexible. The objection to mere restriction of class of buildings is that intermingling of classes may defeat regulation. The tendency, as exemplified in cities like Minneapolis, Baltimore, Milwaukee and Los Angeles, is more and more to a classification of industrial, retail and residential districts, each with its own limitations and regulations. If the bill is signed by the Governor and becomes law it can by discreet application be made a valuable aid to the fire department of the city.
