Whether your project may require DOB approval

An educational planning tool — not an official determination
This navigator provides preliminary, educational guidance based on your answers and public property information. It is not an official determination by the NYC Department of Buildings, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, a co-op or condo board, or a licensed professional — but it's the perfect first step before engaging I. Design & Associates.
