New York Expediting Services, Inc. prepares drawings and filing documents for New York City projects and guides them through municipal review—permits, violations, sign-offs, landmarks, environmental, and transportation work as applicable—alongside Expediters and in-house Registered Architects and Professional Engineers; we coordinate with your construction contractors, mechanical contractors, and licensed electricians whenever those trades underpin the filings. Twenty years in practice; more than five thousand applications approved firm-wide.

Support for Certificates of Occupancy and related Department of Buildings filings as part of new work, alterations, legalizing existing conditions, Letters of Completion, and project sign-offs—aligned with your architect and engineer scope.
End-to-end permit coordination—from application intake through departmental review—with the Department of Buildings, Fire Department, Department of Environmental Protection, Landmark Preservation Commission, Department of Transportation, Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and other agencies when your scope requires.
Plans and Department of Buildings filings for full demolition, temporary construction-equipment fencing, sidewalk sheds or scaffolding filings, and related submissions tied to teardown and site preparation.
Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violation corrections, Certificates of Correction, stop work orders, and vacate orders where applicable, plus OATH hearings when retained for those matters.
When the way a building is being used does not match what the City has on file. Common examples: an extra apartment carved out of a legal home, a basement or storefront turned into a place to live without permits, more people living in a unit than the records allow, or a new use of the space that was never filed. We handle the paperwork with the right City offices—usually the Department of Buildings, Housing Preservation & Development, or the Environmental Control Board—so the records and the building line up.
Preliminary research on Building Information System, DOB NOW, and related records to clarify legal use, open applications and violations, and filing strategy before submissions proceed.
