NYC DOB & Agency Filings
DOB NOW submissions, zoning analysis, change of use and Certificate of Occupancy work.
New York City runs on its own rules. DOB NOW has its own submission logic and its own failure modes, and zoning analysis in the boroughs — envelope, FAR, use group — is a different exercise from suburban zoning.
Scope
- DOB NOW filings and submissions
- Zoning envelope and FAR analysis
- Alteration filings and scope determination
- Change of use and occupancy applications
- Certificate of Occupancy assistance
- Objection responses and agency coordination

Common questions
Why did my filing come back in objection?
Usually because the submission did not match what the examiner expected for that scope. Responding directly is faster than resubmitting blind.
What is the difference between Alt-1 and Alt-2?
Broadly, whether the certificate of occupancy changes. Which applies depends on the scope, and it is worth establishing before filing.
