STEPS TO SUCCESS
Homeowner
The Department of Buildings (DOB) requires permits for most interior renovations in NYC. Whether you are renovating a single-family building or an apartment, an Alteration-General Construction (ALT-GC) application will need to be filed and approved prior to construction.
MZA exists to make homeowners feel confident and supported when they are overwhelmed by the complexity of the DOB procedures and project delays. Our goal is to improve the lives of our clients beyond just compliance.
Builder/Developer
Whether you're a first-time or experienced developer, navigating the compliance requirements set by the New York City Department of Buildings and understanding the city's zoning laws can be overwhelming. MZA collaborates with developers and property owners, offering proactive project management and expert guidance through NYC Zoning Regulations and DOB procedures to ensure seamless project execution from start to finish.
Depending on the scope of your project, a New Building (NB), Alteration Certificate of Occupancy, or an Alteration- General Construction application will need to be filed at the DOB for construction.
