The permit restrictions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/buildings\/pdf\/ll114of19_sn.pdf\">Local Law 114 of 2019<\/a>, effective August 5, 2020, can impact your plans for your buildings in a significant way. It\u2019s best to learn all you can about the new law and to take any required action as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Here is all you need to know about the permit restriction of Local Law 114 of 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the permit restrictions of Local Law 114 of 2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beginning August 5, 2020, the DOB will deny initial work permits for multiple dwellings where the DOB has previously issued a summons for submitting a false statement on a Plan\/Work Application (PW1) regarding the occupancy status of the building, or performing Work Without a Permit while the building was occupied.<\/p>\n<p>This one-year permit restriction will apply if the summons was issued on or after December 5, 2019, which is the effective date of Local Law 114 of 2019. The restriction on a flagged building will remain in effect for one year from the issuance of the summons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can I see if my building is flagged for permit restriction?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buildings where this permit restriction applies will be flagged in the Property Profile in the Buildings Information System (BIS) as LL114\/19 Permit Restriction. You can also find the end date for the restriction, marked as an \u201cuntil date\u201d in the flag.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there any way to remove the permit restriction from a building?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No one wants to hit a brick wall when seeking permits for construction or renovation work. Luckily, permit restrictions can be removed from a building before the one-year effective date comes to an end or if the summons is dismissed by OATH. If you need help having this summons dismissed, reach out to one of our dedicated representatives or our on-staff attorney advisory board, to help you with getting this done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can I obtain a permit for a flagged building?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your building has been flagged for a permit restriction, you can still apply for a permit.
