Hurricane Sandy DOB Fees waived in NYC
This past week, Mayor Bloomberg and the Department of Buildings waived all permit and application fees for Hurricane Sandy, related repair work. Specifically, the fee waiver applies to buildings with significant structural damage in need of demolition, altercation, and restoration permits.
Structures requiring electrical and plumbing systems repairs are also included in the fee waiver. The waiver is in effect until further notice. To expedite the repair process even further, the DOB will be assessing properties with red, yellow, and green placards based on severity of damage and access restrictions.
