Navigating DOB

The Department of Buildings juggles the responsibilities of being staunch enforcers of the New York City Construction Codes and advocates for growth – keeping projects moving, the economy expanding, people employed, and businesses opening. Development is crucial to our great City and DOB provides the foundation for the future of New York City's built environment.
