Compliance helps prevent accidents, minimizes disruptions, and ensures that projects are executed in accordance with established standards, thereby safeguarding public property and infrastructure.

Ultimately, prioritizing compliance is not just a legal requirement but also a moral obligation that benefits everyone involved in the vibrant tapestry of New York City life.
Types of NYC DOT Permits
Street Closure Permits
Securing a Street Closure Permit is essential for any event or construction project that requires temporary closure or alteration of a street in New York City. These permits ensure public safety by coordinating traffic flow and pedestrian access during the closure period. They also involve detailed planning and coordination with city authorities to minimize disruptions to daily life.
Sidewalk Permits
Sidewalk Permits are necessary for any work or activity that encroaches upon public sidewalks, such as construction, repairs, or outdoor dining setups. Obtaining these permits involves demonstrating compliance with ADA regulations to ensure accessibility for all pedestrians. Proper signage and safety measures are also required to protect pedestrians and maintain the flow of foot traffic.
Construction Permits
Construction Permits are required for any building or renovation project in New York City, regulating various aspects such as safety, zoning, and environmental impact. These permits encompass a wide range of activities, including demolition, excavation, and structural modifications. Compliance with building codes and safety standards is rigorously enforced to safeguard workers, residents, and neighboring properties.
Parking Permits
Parking Permits are necessary for temporary parking regulations related to construction, events, or other activities that require the use of public parking spaces. These permits allow for the reservation of parking spots and ensure proper coordination with city parking regulations. They are crucial for minimizing congestion and ensuring efficient use of limited parking resources in densely populated areas like New York City.

Change of Parking Regulations

If your building has changed use, there might also be a need for permanent alterations to parking regulations, which would be coordinated through Borough Engineering.
