NYC Permit Expediting Services
From new construction to alterations, BVS prepares and files applications, manages plan examinations, and secures approvals across all NYC agencies — faster than you thought possible.
What Is Permit Expediting?
Permit expediting is the specialized process of preparing, filing, and shepherding building permit applications through NYC's complex approval pipeline. Every construction project — whether it's a full gut renovation, a commercial fit-out, or a simple plumbing alteration — requires permits from the Department of Buildings and often from additional agencies. BVS handles the entire lifecycle so your project starts on time.
Types of Permits We Handle
New Building (NB)
Ground-up construction with full DOB plan review and multi-agency sign-offs.
Alteration Type 1
Major alterations changing use, egress, or occupancy.
Alteration Type 2
Multiple work types under a single application.
Alteration Type 3
Minor single-trade alterations like plumbing or mechanical.
Demolition
Full or partial demolition with DOT, DEP, and DOB coordination.
Our Expediting Process
Pre-Filing Review
We analyze your project scope, zoning district, and building classification to identify potential objections before they arise.
Application Preparation
Our team assembles all required documents, drawings, and supporting materials for a complete submission.
Filing & Tracking
We file with DOB NOW or submit in person at borough offices, then track the application through every stage of review.
Objection Resolution
When plan examiners raise objections, we respond quickly with amended plans and documentation.
Permit Issuance
Once approved, we secure your work permit and ensure all conditions are clearly communicated to your construction team.
Why Projects Stall Without an Expediter
NYC's permitting system is notoriously complex. Applications can sit in queue for weeks, and a single missing document or code interpretation issue can restart the clock. Without someone who knows the system inside and out, projects routinely face delays of months. BVS eliminates that risk by managing every step proactively.
Multi-Agency Coordination
Many projects require approvals beyond DOB. We coordinate with the Fire Department (FDNY), Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and other agencies to ensure parallel processing and avoid sequential bottlenecks.
