A-150 Brooklyn

Permit close-out and sign-offs in Brooklyn.

Updated

Old open jobs and expired permits show up in title searches, hold up closings and refinances, and block new or amended Certificates of Occupancy. ASH Group NYC works out the right route for each open job and follows it through to a closed record.

What we handle

Open jobs we close out.

  • Sign-offs and Letters of Completion for finished work, including final inspections and required reports
  • Expired permits: renewal or reinstatement, then sign-off
  • Withdrawals of applications where the work never happened
  • Title-report and lender lists of open jobs, sorted by the route each one needs
  • As-built drawings and amendments where the work changed from the approved plans
  • Jobs tied to a new or amended Certificate of Occupancy

How it works

From open job to closed record.

  1. Review the job history

    We pull every open application and permit on the property and see what was built, what’s expired and what never started.

  2. Choose the route

    Finished work is signed off, expired permits are renewed or reinstated first, and work that never happened is withdrawn, which DOB verifies by inspection.

  3. Gather what DOB needs

    That can include inspection sign-offs, special inspection reports, the final cost affidavit and any amendments or as-builts.

  4. File and follow through

    We file the request and track it until the record shows the job closed, answering any DOB objections.

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, Brooklyn is borough code 3. Use our facade cycle lookup or gas inspection lookup.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Do you handle permit close-out & sign-offs in Brooklyn?

Yes. We work on properties in all five boroughs, including Brooklyn. Send the address and we’ll review the records and follow up.

Does it matter which Brooklyn community district I’m in?

For some inspections, yes. Gas piping inspection windows are set by community district, and Brooklyn has 18 of them. The table above shows the window for each.

Can I just withdraw every open job?

Only where no work was done, and DOB will check. Work that was performed has to be signed off, or the scope amended to match what was built.

How long does closing out a job take?

It depends on the route, how old the job is, and whether inspections or documents are missing. A review of the job history gives a realistic timeline.
