Answers to common questions about NYC DOB Special Inspections, Tenant Protection Plans, and the compliance process.
Special Inspections are required by the NYC Building Code (Chapter 17) for new construction, alterations, and enlargements. They are mandated whenever work involves structural elements, fire protection systems, mechanical systems, or other critical building components that must be verified by a qualified third-party inspector.
A Tenant Protection Plan is required when performing construction or renovation work in occupied buildings. The TPP outlines measures to protect existing tenants from construction hazards including dust, noise, and structural risks. Our team conducts the required inspections to verify these protections are in place.
Special Inspections are performed by a qualified third-party agency (like Broadway Inspections) to verify that specific construction work complies with approved plans and code requirements. Progress Inspections are conducted by DOB inspectors at various stages of construction to verify overall compliance before work can proceed to the next phase.
If work does not meet the required standards, we document the deficiencies and work with your project team to identify corrective actions. Once corrections are made, we return to re-inspect and verify compliance. Our goal is to help you resolve issues quickly to minimize project delays.
Yes, many interior renovations require special inspections, particularly if the work involves structural modifications, mechanical system changes, fire protection systems, or if it is being performed in an occupied building (which would require a TPP). The specific requirements depend on the scope of your DOB-approved plans.
We prioritize prompt report filing. Technical reports are typically prepared and filed with the DOB within 24 to 48 hours of a successful inspection. Our expedited process ensures your project approvals are not delayed by paperwork.
