How it works
From application to sign-off.
Scope review
We look at your plans and property records to identify every filing, approval and agency the project will touch.
Prepare and file
We assemble the application with your architect or engineer and submit it in DOB NOW.
Plan examination
We track the review and coordinate responses to objections so the job keeps moving.
Permit to sign-off
Once approved, we manage permits, inspections and sign-offs, and line up what’s needed for a Letter of Completion or Certificate of Occupancy.
The Bronx deadlines
Inspection windows for The Bronx buildings.
The Bronx has 12 community districts. Gas piping inspections under Local Law 152 follow the district your building is in:
| Sub-cycle | The Bronx districts | Cycle 2 | Cycle 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1, 3, 10 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2024 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2028 |
| B | 2, 5, 7 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2025 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2029 |
| C | 4, 6, 8, 9 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2026 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2030 |
| D | 11, 12 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2027 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2031 |
Facade inspections (FISP) for buildings taller than six stories follow the last digit of the block number instead, not the district. In a borough-block-lot (BBL) number, The Bronx is borough code 2. Use our facade cycle lookup or gas inspection lookup.
Questions
Frequently asked.
Do you handle dob permit expediting in The Bronx?
Yes. We work on properties in all five boroughs, including The Bronx. Send the address and we’ll review the records and follow up.
Does it matter which The Bronx community district I’m in?
For some inspections, yes. Gas piping inspection windows are set by community district, and The Bronx has 12 of them. The table above shows the window for each.
What does a permit expediter do?
An expediter manages the filing process: preparing and submitting applications, tracking reviews, coordinating responses to objections and following permits through inspections and sign-off, alongside your architect or engineer.
How long does a DOB permit take?
It depends on the scope of work, the type of review and how quickly objections are resolved. After a scope review we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your project.
