This role requires an independent professional with a strong understanding of NYC permitting procedures to manage the entire process from pre-filing to closeout.
Responsibilities
- Manage DOB filings and permitting for renovation, alteration, and construction projects throughout NYC.

- Prepare, submit, track, and coordinate applications through DOB NOW and BIS.
- Coordinate with architects, engineers, special inspectors, contractors, and ownership teams to obtain required documentation and resolve filing issues.
- Monitor plan examinations, objections, audits, and agency comments and proactively coordinate responses.
- Attend or coordinate DOB appointments and meetings when necessary to resolve outstanding issues.
- Manage permit issuance, renewals, amendments, superseding applications, and related filings.
- Assist with electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire protection, and other trade-related permitting coordination.
- Coordinate with other NYC agencies when required, including FDNY, DOT, DEP, LPC, and others.
- Research existing building records, open applications, permits, violations, certificates of occupancy, and related property documentation.
- Identify permitting risks that could impact construction schedules and communicate them clearly to the project team.
- Maintain accurate permit logs and provide concise status updates.
- Support project closeout, including sign-offs, letters of completion, certificates of occupancy, and resolution of open applications.
- Develop strong working relationships with Metacomet's project management team and become a trusted resource for NYC permitting and filing questions.
Requirements
- 5+ years of NYC permit expediting / filing experience, preferably with significant responsibility for independently managing projects.
- Strong working knowledge of NYC DOB, DOB NOW, BIS, and NYC permitting procedures.
- Experience with interior renovations, multifamily residential buildings, commercial spaces, and building alteration projects strongly preferred.
- Ability to read and understand architectural and engineering drawings.
- Strong understanding of the relationship between construction scope, filing requirements, permits, inspections, and project closeout.
- Experience identifying potential filing and permitting issues before they become schedule problems.
- Established familiarity with NYC DOB borough offices, plan examination procedures, and agency workflows.
- Highly organized and capable of managing multiple active projects simultaneously.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with project managers, architects, engineers, contractors, and agency personnel.
- Ability to work independently with limited supervision and take ownership of permitting assignments from start to finish.
