Using BIS

The Building Information System (BIS) is a mainframe system that allows you to view filing details online. Previously BIS for job filings were made in-person at a DOB borough office. BIS job filings are now processed and submitted in eFiling except:

  • Professional Certification Builders Pavement Plan (BPP)
  • Full Demolition (DM)
  • Landmarks with a ‘C designation - Calendared marked properties
  • Legalization
  • No Work Projects
  • Subdivision
  • School Construction Authority applications

For the above project/work types or additional considerations, create and print the PW1 and EF1 in eFiling and then drop it off at a borough office with payment by check. Use eSubmit to upload the plans and required documents.

BPP can be submitted as standard plan examination only in HUB Full-Service. Properties with L – Landmark as the Landmark Status on the BIS Property Profile page can be submitted in HUB Full-Service or HUB Self-Service. For professionally certified BPP applications or properties with C – Calendar as the Landmark Status on the BIS Property Profile page, create and print the PW1 and EF1 in eFiling and then drop it off at a borough office with payment by check. Use eSubmit to upload the plans and required documents.

Accessing BIS

You do not need to sign-up to access information in BIS. Look up job filings or permits in the BIS.
