Building Approvals & Permits
Navigating NYC building approvals and permits doesn't have to be stressful. We handle it all for you.
What You Need to Know
Understanding the approval process is an important part of planning your renovation.
Approval Requirements Vary
The level of approval required depends on the complexity of your project. Minor cosmetic updates may need minimal documentation, while structural changes require formal filings.
Co-ops & Condos
Requirements range from simple documentation to formal NYC Building Department filings. Your building's alteration agreement will outline the specific approval process you need to follow.
Complex Projects
Projects involving plumbing relocation, electrical changes, or wall removal require more extensive processing and formal permits from the NYC Building Department.
