I’m currently visiting New York and noticed that most buildings have scaffolding that you can walk underneath (e.g. the Empire State Building).
I was wondering if this is;
- Because of construction
- Or to protect pedestrians from objects that might fall down of high buildings

These structures are generally sidewalk sheds, as they usually serve to protect the sidewalk as required by the building code. They're intended to protect people on the sidewalk with causing the disruption and harm to businesses that would come from closing the route to pedestrians during construction and renovations. There are thousands of them in the city at any given time, and some are up for years (sometimes many years).
The Empire State Building is working on a large renovation project. Since that project includes a new entrance and other exterior changes, where any falling tools or material could injure those below, I presume a sidewalk shed was required.
