Preparer

Under the HUB Self-Service, New York State Professional Engineers and Registered Architects can professionally certify plans for small construction projects (Alteration 2 and Alteration 3) without visiting a Department office. By eFiling on the Department’s website, applicants can create online accounts, complete the necessary electronic forms, and upload the proper documents in order to receive approvals and obtain construction permits. Alteration 2 and 3 applications are typically submitted when there is no change in use, occupancy, or egress.

*Note: All documents and payments must be processed and the job must be submitted to the Department for review within sixty (60) days of entering HUB Self-Service.*
