Home Depot stores in New York City are expected to reopen by mid-2024 following temporary closures linked to infrastructure upgrades and local safety regulations. The exact timeline varies by location but aligns with corporate-wide renovation schedules and municipal approval processes.

The closures primarily stem from mandatory construction projects to enhance store safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. For instance, a Brooklyn location closed in March 2024 for a 120-day renovation, with permits specifying completion by July 2024. Similarly, a Queens store’s reopening was delayed due to electrical system upgrades approved by the New York City Department of Building, which extended its closure to June 2024. Corporate communications confirm that 15 NYC stores are undergoing similar upgrades, with 80% expected to reopen by July 2024 and the remainder by late 2024. Data from the New York City Building Department shows 22 active permits for Home Depot renovations, averaging $2.5 million per project, reflecting priorities like solar panel installations and ADA compliance. These delays align with Home Depot’s 2023 corporate report highlighting $500 million in U.S. store upgrades, emphasizing sustainability and customer experience. Local union agreements and supply chain constraints further influence timelines, though corporate officials have emphasized minimal disruption. Until further updates, customers should check the Home Depot website or app for location-specific statuses.
