Frequently Asked Questions

A DOB filing is the formal application submitted to the NYC Department of Buildings describing the proposed work, the property and the responsible professionals. It must be accurate and complete to be approved.

Many job types require a licensed professional of record to prepare and certify the plans. We coordinate with yours, or can refer one if needed.

Filing is preparing and submitting the application correctly; expediting is actively pushing it through the DOB's review queue. We do both.

We diagnose the objection, correct the issue and resubmit — though our goal is always to get it right the first time.
