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 plumbing, mechanical, or emergency-work permit check for water heater work

NYC DOB says plumbing work that alters, rearranges, relocates, or permanently removes piping must be supervised by a Licensed Master Plumber or qualified contractor and permitted by DOB. For water heater repair, replacement, or conversion, confirm the DOB filing route because the work can involve plumbing, gas, venting, electrical, heating or hot-water equipment, and emergency-work rules during the heating season.
