Licensed professional engineering · Long Island & New York City
Engineering that
gets built.
MFA Engineering & Consulting is a professional engineering practice. We analyze, design, document, inspect and certify — and we carry the work through approval and construction. One practice, from the first calculation to the final sign-off.
The practice
Licensed engineering first. Everything else follows from it.
The practice is built around professional engineering — analysis, design, inspection, forensic investigation and sealed certification. Permitting and project management sit alongside that work rather than in place of it.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. A permit expediter can file your application but cannot seal a drawing. An architect designs, then brings in an outside engineer for the structural work. Here the analysis, the sealed drawings and the filing are done by the same licensed engineer — so nothing waits on a third party, and the person answering the plan examiner is the person who ran the calculations.
In practice
- Engineering, drawings and filings handled together, not passed between firms
- Sets prepared for the specific department that will review them
- One point of contact from the first calculation to the final sign-off
- Covering every town on Long Island and all five boroughs

Permitting & Approvals
Getting a filing through the department that will review it.
Compliance & Legalization
Bringing a property onto the record and clearing what is against it.
Construction & Property
Building, extending, elevating and delivering the work itself.

Explore →How we work
Design decisions made against the approval path.
Buildability and approvability are engineering constraints, not afterthoughts. Working them into the design is what keeps a set from coming back in objection.
Engineering-led
Analysis and design come first. Drawings are produced to be built from, not just filed.
Single accountability
One party responsible from concept through sign-off. Nothing gets lost at a handoff.
Jurisdiction-specific
Each department has its own format and recurring objections. Sets are prepared accordingly.
For investors and buyers
Know what is on the record before you commit.
A property file review pulls the municipal record and reports what is actually there — open permits, missing certificates, violations, and work that was never filed. It is a records and compliance exercise, turned around in days.
A property under contract costs taxes, insurance, utilities and interest every day it sits. An issue found before signing is a negotiating position. The same issue found after closing is simply yours.
Coverage
All of Long Island. All of New York City.
