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 solar work permit and electrical permit for building-connected solar

NYC DOB says permits are required for the installation of all building-connected solar energy systems, and its solar owner requirements say no solar work can be performed without a work permit, licensed contractor, or registered design professional except solar landscape lights. Solar PV projects must also file an ED16A electrical permit application, and structural support must be reviewed by a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect.
