New York City vs. Long Island and Westchester: Who Issues Your Permits
Inside the five boroughs, building permits and most violations come from the NYC Department of Buildings, with HPD, FDNY, DEP and LPC each enforcing their own rules, and many summonses heard at OATH. Outside the City, on Long Island and in Yonkers and Westchester, permits and code enforcement are handled by the local town, city or village building department, each with its own forms, fees and inspection process.
We work in both systems every day, so whether your property is in Jamaica or Huntington, Bay Ridge or Yonkers, we know which office has jurisdiction and what it expects to see.
What We Handle in Every Area We Serve
- Violation removal and penalty reductions
- Permit filing, pulling and expediting
- Property research and pre-purchase due diligence
- Feasibility studies for renovations, conversions and new uses
- Hearing appearances at OATH for NYC properties
