NYC Permits Practice
Open on time, without the chaos.
We handle the path from lease to inspection so you can focus on building the business, not chasing signatures.
Where we work first
Restaurants & cafes
From DOB filings to health and fire coordination, we move build-outs toward opening day instead of letting tickets pile up.
Street-level retail
Signage, layout changes, and light renovation permits for high-visibility spaces that can't sit dark for months.
Small offices & studios
Straightforward conversions and fit-outs for teams that just need a clean, compliant workspace.
Simple, transparent pricing
Restaurants
Starting around $9,500 per location.
Retail
Often in the $7,500 range.
Offices
From $10,000+ depending on scope.
Exact fees depend on scope, existing conditions, and agency responses. We scope before we commit.
How a typical engagement works
Scoping & feasibility
We review your lease, plans, and timeline, and give you a realistic path—including where we can't help.
Files & submissions
We prepare and submit the necessary filings, coordinating with your architect and GC.
Review & responses
When agencies ask questions, we respond quickly and keep you updated in plain language.
Approvals & handoff
Once approvals are in, we hand everything back cleanly so you can open and operate.
Frequently asked questions
Do you guarantee approvals in 30 days?
No one can guarantee an agency's timeline. We design for speed, are honest about risk, and tell you when a case doesn't fit our model.
Which agencies do you work with?
We primarily work with the Department of Buildings (DOB), FDNY, and related city departments. We'll assess which agencies your project requires during scoping.
Can you fix existing violations?
Sometimes. We'll review your notices and tell you what's realistic before we ask for a fee.
