Staten Island DOB permits and compliance
DOB permits, filings, violations and sign-offs for Staten Island buildings, for owners, contractors, architects and engineers.
Staten Island projects
Staten Island's single-family homes, new construction and additions each carry their own DOB requirements, from the first filing through renewals and sign-off.
DOB's Staten Island borough office is at Borough Hall, 10 Richmond Terrace. Typical jobs in the borough are new one- and two-family houses, additions, decks, pools, retaining walls and home improvement work, and many of them involve grading, drainage and site plan items on the filing.
We prepare the filings, track the renewals and see the job through to sign-off. A new one-, two- or three-family house needs a DOB-registered General Contractor, and alterations in one- to four-family homes need a contractor with a Home Improvement Contractor license from DCWP; Contractor Registration explains both.
