New Process for High Rise Permits

New Buildings over 75’ have a change to the permitting process.

Historically, the standpipe permit was not required until a new building reached the height of 75’. This would allow the more critical building permit to move forward and get the project started.

With the new laws regarding standpipes, this changes. Now, the standpipe permit must be obtained before the new building permit can be issued.

This change just went into effect, and the DOB computer system is tagging new buildings that are not yet permitted. If nothing more, this will certainly delay the pulling of the final permit.
