What it is
Post-work permitting refers to filings that bring you up to speed when remodeling or construction began before permits—or full approvals—were squared away. The goal is a clear filing record that aligns what was built with what the Department of Buildings and related rules ask for.
Why it matters to address
When filings lag behind finished work, inspectors may treat alterations as undocumented. Borrowing, refinancing, selling, leasing, escalating fines—and later permits—all grow harder.
