Introduction
  • Each year Buildings ensures the safe and lawful
    use of over 900,000 buildings and properties by
    enforcing the Building Code, Zoning Resolution
    and other applicable laws.
  • reviews over 57,000 construction plans
  • issues over 90,000 new and renewed permits
  • performs over 300,000 inspections
  • licenses twelve trades with 29 classifications
  • Under Commissioner Lancaster, FAIA, there have
    been significant recent enhancements to BISWeb
    and the Departments Website on NYC.gov making
    them more reliant, efficient and transparent.
  • In June 2005 Buildings unveiled its redesigned
    Website (www.nyc.gov/buildings) providing
    improved navigation, information architecture and
    tools that makes it easier to find data. The
    public can also subscribe to automatic e-mail
    notifications for new service changes or for
    information on specifically requested categories.
  • August 2005, an average of 15,000 individual
    users per day visited the BISWeb, averaging
    250,000 page views per business day.

The Application Filing Process
  • In the City of New York, most applications to do
    construction must be filed with the Department of
    Buildings by a New York State licensed
    Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered
    Architect (RA).

The Permit Process
  • Once an application to do construction work has
    been approved, a contractor can apply for a
    building permit to begin the work.
  • Applicant submits to the permit clerk the
    approved folder with a stamp indicating that
    microfilm has been received, along with the
    documents below
  • PW-2 form, signed and notarized by contractor. If
    licensee, seal is required in lieu of
    notarization.
  • PW-3 form (cost affidavit), signed by contractor
    and notarized. If licensee, sign and seal.
  • A check for thirty-five dollars (final
    microfilming fee).
  • Permit clerk checks for fees due and valid
    insurance prior to producing the permit.
  • The permit is generated and the permit clerk
    enters the permit issuance date in BIS.
  • The application folder is retained by the permit
    clerk and sent to the Record Room for filing.

Building Code
  • The current Building Code was enacted by the City
    Council on October 22, 1968, and approved by the
    Mayor on November 6, 1968. It became effective on
    December 6, 1968, superseding the Building Code
    enacted in 1938. The "New Code" is based largely
    upon nationally accepted performance standards
    and specifications for materials and construction
    assemblies. The present edition available here
    updates the Building Code to October 1, 2004.
