Junior Architects + Engineers Begins 3rd Semester |
||||||||
|
This month, the Department kicked off the third semester of the Junior Architects and Engineers Program. Commissioner Robert LiMandri and Queens Borough Commissioner Ira Gluckman, RA, taught PS 88 fifth graders about the importance of construction in New York City and the Department's role in facilitating safe development. This educational program helps elementary school students learn about the construction process ― and inspires the next generation of design professionals. |
New Program to Accelerate Plan Approval Process
We've launched a new pilot program in Queens to accelerate the approval process and reduce the number of plan exam appointments by requiring applicants to submit complete construction plans. The Queens Borough Office is now only accepting complete drawings with submitted applications. Use our new Plan Examination Guidelines to help prepare a complete application package.
No-Penalty Retaining Wall Inspections
The Department's annual No-Penalty Retaining Wall Inspection Program is underway. Through June 30, private property owners may schedule a free, no-penalty retaining wall inspection ― and no violations will be issued during the program. Call 311 for an inspection as part of this program.
