New York City, NY property project guides
New York City maintains a Department of Buildings with resources for owners and construction professionals. A useful project brief identifies the borough, building address, ownership structure and person coordinating the building records.
Start with the building.
- Include the borough and full street address so similarly named locations remain clear.
- Separate condo or co-op common systems from work inside a unit or commercial tenancy.
- Ask the project professional to confirm filing, permit and inspection responsibilities for the proposed scope.
A precise scope helps a provider assess the job and gives you proposals that are easier to compare. Include the records you already have and mark anything the provider needs to investigate on site.
