The Department of Buildings Its Role In Your Project

The Department of Buildings or, by its common name, The "DOB" will more than likely play a critical role in your project. Whether you are a current homeowner or planning to buy an existing home, being aware of your building's condition up front will allow for better planning down the road. If you are planning to renovate an existing building or home, you need to be informed ahead of time if it is up to current building code or if it has existing non-conforming issues that may need to be dealt with to gain approval by your local DOB. If you are constructing a new home, the local government agencies will play a more prominent role in your project. You may be dealing with multiple agencies, including but not limited to, the Department of Buildings, Architectural Review Board, Site Plan Review Board, Zoning Review Board, Department of Health, Department of Transportation, just to name a few.
