Questions & Answers
NYC DOB Compliance Questions
Find answers to common questions about NYC Department of Buildings permits, filings, and violations.
A NYC DOB permit is required for any construction, demolition, alteration, or renovation work that affects structural integrity, occupancy, egress, or fire safety.
ALT1 is for major alterations that change use, egress, or occupancy. ALT2 covers alterations that do not change occupancy or egress. ALT3 is for minor alterations and ordinary repairs.
No. In most cases, work cannot begin before the NYC DOB issues a permit. Starting work without a required permit can result in stop work orders, violations, and fines.
Identify the issue, correct the condition, obtain required permits, schedule re-inspection, and pay any associated fines.
DOB NOW is the NYC Department of Buildings online portal for applications, payments, inspections, and project status.
