FAQ

Why do I need a permit?

A permit system is the typical method used to determine whether a proposed construction or installation complies with zoning laws and building codes. The building permit review process and inspections are intended to secure the public protection from the hazards of fire and inadequate building construction, and to ensure that the requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code have been satisfied.
