The majority of construction requires a Department of Buildings permit. Most often, a New York State licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) must file plans and pull permits before work begins.
Some projects that typically need a permit include: Major renovations or additions to existing buildings. Electrical work. Plumbing installations or changes. HVAC system installations or changes.
This process is usually overseen by the buildings management company and they present the information to the board as a packet once all the required documentation is collected. On average, most project approvals take between 2 and 4 weeks once the board receives the package and assuming no permits are required.
