In the last couple of years, New York City has passed two new local laws restricting the issuance of new permits, and in some cases revoking active permits, to properties with excessive violations and to those who owe the City $25,000 or more in arrears. The DOB is stepping up compliance with Local Law 104 of 2019 and Local Law 160 of 2017, which just went into effect in the beginning of March.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Local Law 104 of 2019: Permit Restrictions for Buildings with Excessive Violations Applications for initial work permits in the Buildings Information System (BIS) will be denied for multi-dwellings with violations as follows:<\/p>\n The types of violations include either both or one of the following:<\/p>\n The permit restriction will apply to buildings for violations issued on or after January 4, 2020.<\/p>\n DOB will keep an updated list of New York City buildings with excessive violations. Buildings on this list will be denied new permits until the violations are resolved<\/a> or cleared<\/a>.<\/p>\n Exceptions may apply in certain situations. To apply for an exception request, applicants must submit a Local Law 104 of 2019 Request for Exception to Permit Restriction form<\/a> with required documentation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Local Law 160 of 2017: Permit Restrictions for Owners Owing $25,000 or More to the City Specifically, per Local Law 160 of 2017<\/a>, properties where $25,000 or more is owed in covered arrears, or if the owners of the property together owe $25,000 or more in covered arrears to New York City will not be allowed to request New Building and Alteration-CO permits<\/a> in the Owner\u2019s Attestation on the Plan\/Work (PW1) application in DOB NOW: Build. This affects any new building, demolition, place of assembly or major alteration that would change the use, egress or occupancy of a property.<\/p>\n Covered Arrears Owners, permit holders, and applicants will be sent a letter notifying them of the DOB\u2019s intent to revoke a permit over covered arrears, and they will have 15 days to submit either a clearance letter from the New York City Department of Finance (DOF) or proof that an exception<\/a> applies.<\/p>\n When applying for New Building or Alteration-CO permits in DOB NOW: Build, owners of properties that are affected by LL160\/17 will not be allowed to request a permit in the Owner\u2019s Attestation on the Plan\/Work (PW1) application unless they certify that an exception applies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Contact RAND <\/p>\n Paul Grissett is head of RAND's Code & Zoning Compliance team.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the last couple of years, New York City has passed two new local laws restricting the issuance of new permits, and in some cases revoking active permits, to properties with excessive violations and to those who owe the...<\/p>\n Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":6138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[464,466,467,468],"tags":[675,469,453,451,472,370,454,674,371,384,470],"class_list":["post-6126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-code-zoning-compliance","category-department-of-buildings","category-new-york-city","category-violations","tag-arrears","tag-code-zoning-compliance","tag-department-of-buildings","tag-dob","tag-expediting","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc-department-of-buildings","tag-permits","tag-rand","tag-rand-engineering-architecture","tag-violations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m.randpc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
