New York City Permit Directory

When undertaking a design or construction project in New York, understanding the necessary permits is crucial. Requirements can vary significantly depending on whether your project is in Long Island, New York City, or other parts of the state.

Generally, common permits you might encounter include:

• Building Permits: Typically required for new construction, additions, and certain alterations.
• Demolition Permits: Needed for the removal of existing structures.
• Electrical Permits: For electrical work.
• Plumbing Permits: For plumbing installations and modifications.
• Mechanical Permits: For HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems.

Resources:

• For projects within Long Island, you will generally need to consult the specific town or village where the property is located. Each municipality (e.g., Town of Hempstead, Village of Garden City) will have its own building department with specific permit applications and processes. We recommend visiting their official websites or contacting them directly.
• For projects within New York City, the Department of Buildings (DOB) is the primary agency responsible for permits. You can find detailed information on their website: https://www.nyc.gov/site/buildings/index.page
• For areas outside of Long Island and NYC, you will need to identify the local city, town, or county building department.
