How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to New York City, NY. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.

Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.

Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

DOB alteration permit and exemption check for insulation or air-sealing work

NYC DOB says most construction requires approval and permits, while 1 RCNY 101-14 identifies categories of minor alteration and ordinary repair work that may be exempt but still must comply with construction codes, the energy code, zoning, and other agency requirements. Insulation or air-sealing work should be checked with DOB when it opens assemblies, changes fire-rated or exterior conditions, affects mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems, or is part of a larger alteration.
