A job filing is the formal process of submitting an application for construction or renovation permits to the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB). Our team ensures all required documents—such as plans, drawings, and applications—are accurately prepared and submitted. This helps avoid delays and ensures your project complies with all NYC regulations and building codes.
An NB filing is required for new construction projects. This filing involves submitting detailed plans and documentation to the DOB for approval to build a new structure. For a new building, you'll need to provide site plans, architectural drawings, structural engineering reports, zoning analysis, and any other documentation required to ensure the project complies with zoning and building codes. Our experts will ensure that every detail is properly submitted to facilitate the approval process.
ALT1 filings are required when you plan to make major alterations to an existing building, such as changing the building's use, occupancy, or egress (exit routes). These filings involve more extensive changes and usually require an updated Certificate of Occupancy (CO) after the work is completed. Our team handles the coordination of architectural and structural plans, ensuring compliance with NYC building and safety codes. We ensure that the DOB fully reviews and approves the plans for these more complex alterations.
An ALT2 filing is for alterations that do not affect the use, occupancy, or egress of the building. These are typically more minor renovations, such as interior updates, plumbing, electrical work, or other non-structural changes. While ALT2 filings are less complex than ALT1 filings, our team still ensures that all necessary documentation is prepared and submitted to the DOB for review and approval. This allows your project to proceed without delays while remaining compliant with NYC's building codes.

A stop work order is issued by the Department of Buildings when construction activities are halted due to code violations or unpermitted work. Our team works with the DOB and relevant authorities to resolve the issues causing the stop work order. We help you correct any non-compliance, resubmit required documentation, and work to have the stop work order lifted, so your project can continue.
A vacate order is issued when a building is deemed unsafe for occupancy. This can happen if there are serious violations, such as structural damage, hazardous conditions, or other safety risks. We assist in addressing the issues causing the vacate order, work with inspectors to rectify the situation, and file the necessary documentation to remove the vacate order, allowing you to legally occupy the building once again.
Violations are issued when a building fails to comply with NYC’s building codes, zoning regulations, or safety standards. We help resolve these violations by filing corrective actions with the DOB and ensuring that all necessary repairs or modifications are made. Once the violation is cleared, we submit the required documentation to remove the violation and prevent further penalties or fines.
A Certificate of Correction is issued by the Department of Buildings after a violation has been corrected to confirm compliance. Our team helps you navigate this process by ensuring all required corrections are made and the necessary documentation is submitted to the DOB. Once approved, the Certificate of Correction is issued, verifying that your property is now in full compliance with NYC’s building codes.
