Construction compliance · All five boroughs
From first filing to final sign-off.
DOB permits, filings, violations and sign-offs for New York City construction, from due diligence through close-out.
What we do
Four stages, one firm
Our services follow a project in the order it meets the Department of Buildings. Start at the stage you are in.
-
I · Due diligence
Know the property before you commit
Open violations, penalties and permit history, checked before you buy, lease or start design.
-
II · Approvals
Get the permit approved
We prepare the application with your design team, work through the plan examiner's objections and follow the review until the permit is issued.
-
III · Construction
Keep the work in order while you build
Site safety plans, permit renewals and code questions that come up between the permit and the last inspection.
-
IV · Close-out
Close the job and clear the record
Final inspections, sign-offs and the certificate of occupancy, and the removal of violations that hold them up.
Free property report
Check permits, violations and the C of O for any NYC address
Type an address to see how many violations, complaints and permits are open at the building, any ECB balance due and whether a certificate of occupancy is on file.
Preliminary information from public records, not an official record.
Who we work with
-
Developers
Ground-up and conversion projects, multifamily and mixed-use, taken from the first filings to the certificate of occupancy.
-
Architects & engineers
We prepare your DOB NOW filings, work through objections with you and coordinate Quality Housing and zoning questions, so you can stay on the drawings.
-
Owners & buyers
Open violations, stop-work orders and permit history checked before you buy, and cleared before they hold up a sale or a sign-off.
How we work
-
Review
Send the address and what you plan to build. We check the property's DOB record and tell you which permits and filings the work needs.
-
Plan and prepare
We prepare the applications with your architect and engineers, follow them through plan review and work through the examiner's objections until the permits are issued.
-
Close out
We keep permits and safety paperwork current while you build, then book the final inspections and see the sign-offs and certificate of occupancy through.
