The Department of Buildings (DOB) regulates construction activity resulting in the issuance of construction permits. After receipt of applications and thorough reviews of construction documents to ensure compliance with building codes and zoning regulations, construction activity and buildings are inspected and rendered safe for occupation.
Throughout this process, DOB is here to help you identify the best course to get your project under way and get your building sooner.
