DOB NOW Filing Services for Small Architecture Firms
From pre-filing drawing review to sign-off — we manage the DOB NOW process for your Alt-2 renovations and interior build-outs.Our team specializes in simplifying this process, ensuring that your project is not only compliant but also stands out in the competitive landscape. Let us help you articulate your project vision with clarity and precision.
DOB NOW Filing & Expediting
This is our core service and what sets us apart.
Pre-Filing Drawing Review: Before we file, we go through your drawing set the way a DOB plan examiner would. We check for missing code references, incomplete professional certifications, zoning compliance gaps, energy code documentation, and the small details that commonly trigger objections on Alt-2 applications. If something needs attention, you hear about it from us — not from an objection sheet weeks later.
What we file: We handle DOB NOW applications for interior build-outs, commercial renovations, and tenant fit-outs, covering every discipline your project requires: architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, sprinkler, fire alarm, and standpipe.
What we manage: Initial filing, examiner correspondence, objection responses, post-approval amendments, Letters of Completion, and sign-off. We track every application through to close-out.
Landmarks Preservation Commission Filing
Projects in NYC's historic districts and individually landmarked buildings require LPC approval before DOB filing can proceed. We prepare and submit LPC applications, coordinate with staff reviewers, and manage the approval timeline so it doesn't hold up your DOB submission.
FDNY Plan Review & Filing
Fire alarm and suppression systems often require separate FDNY review and approval beyond your DOB filing. We handle FDNY submissions, code compliance documentation, and examiner follow-up — running it in parallel with your DOB application so your project timeline stays on track.
