Scaffold Information Although there are numerous types of scaffolds in use in cities, there are two types of scaffolds that are more common or visible on the streets. One is often referred to as a pipe scaffold and the other a hanging or "suspension" scaffold. A "pipe" scaffold is a stationary scaffold that is constructed with pipes and erected from the ground up along the side of a building. In New York City, The Construction Division within each borough office of the Department of Buildings (DOB) has jurisdiction over pipe scaffolds (stationary). A hanging or "suspension" scaffold is supported from the roof or setback of a building and held by either cables or rope. A master rigger or special rigger must be contracted for the work, and each worker using or operating the suspension scaffold must be employed by the master rigger, special rigger, or their company. The Cranes and Derricks Division within DOB has jurisdiction over suspension scaffolds.
