Frequently Asked Questions

  • Give us a call, and we will be happy to walk you through it all. Whether you have a project in mind or a violation to clear, we will be there to guide you through the process and let you know what to expect.

  • According to the law – yes, you do. But that has not stopped many people from doing the work without permits.

    Safety and quality of work are the more obvious reasons to get permits – the work is subject to third-party inspection, which discourages contractors from cutting corners.

    Where New Yorkers really feel the pain is when they are slapped with a violation by the DOB. Besides paying a fine on top of getting permits to legalize the work, depending on what you have done, you may be fined daily until the issue is corrected (or you undo all the work you have done).

    So in short, everything is great—until you get caught.

  • Duration varies based on the scope, existing conditions, construction, etc. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, but it is always worth having a conversation to discuss and set expectations.
