NYC Department of Buildings

The NYC Department of Buildings administers building-related regulation, permitting, plan review, and inspection functions within its jurisdiction. Its website provides official guidance, public resources, and links to supported building-information and filing systems.

Owners, design professionals, contractors, and residents should choose the actual service relevant to the building or project. Accounts, registrations, documents, and professional requirements depend on the process. A public record or general guide is different from approval of a specific construction project.
