I went to this office about three times during covid. It was a process. Sign in. Get a number wait to be called. I was always able to get my questions answered in person or over the phone. In person I was able to get my plans stamped and copied. Were they super nice and friendly like Disney employees? No. They were serious, helpful and to the point. I had no issues here. My entire renovation process was a mess but the department of buildings was never the issue.

I'm not sure but I tried to check also. Calls can be made anonymously even if you don't reside in the building.

That should be fairly easy if you don't owe him any rent or damages to apt. He has no reason to hold on to it assuming all is okay as noted above. If not l guess you go tru legal means to get it.

I have a building located in the Bronx we have a Certificate of Occupancy that indicates on of the floor as a public eating and assembly place...how can I get that changed since it is no longer a place of Assembly.

You have to file for a new C Of O so it can meet the purpose of usage. It must meet the regulations required for the change intended. If you don't you will be fined. Once this is done it will be inspected to see if compliance is met. Also, if it's your intention to convert it into a place of residence it will have to meet HMC (Housing Maintenance Codes, & MDL Multiple Dwelling Laws). Last but not least you should look into zoning regulations to see if your purpose is acceptable for where this property is.

Look for C of O. Aka Certificate of Occupany will tell you the story count which defines if it's a PD private dwelling (2 sty) or MD multiple dwelling (3sty's) or more.

Is a certificate of occupancy for a residential building from 1960 still valid

Alwaldo Jerden | Sep 27, 2018
Nicole Almanz | Sep 27, 2018

Yes it is. In fact nothing supercedes that unless there's another c of o on file with a later date. A c of o is like our social security # for us. However you can make changes and updates and have a job attached to the current c of o as an update. Actually you should check to see if there's an application on file as of now. What's on you c of o might not be 100% accurate.
