    Council proposes DOB and BSA fee increases

    Legislation  •  Citywide

    Domenic M. Recchia Jr.

    Local laws would increase Buildings’ filing fees and BSA’s application fees. On May 11, 2011, City Council Member Domenic M. Recchia Jr., by request of the Mayor, introduced two local laws to amend the City’s administrative code and increase the Department of Buildings’ filing fees and the Board of Standards & Appeals’ application fees.

    Intro 570 would affect certain filing fees charged by Buildings for alteration permits, service equipment and storage tank permits, foundation and earthwork permits, scaffolding, and permits for temporary structures. The law would, among other things, establish different minimum filing fees for Alteration Type 1, 2, and 3 permits for all buildings, including one- to three-family dwellings. For example, the minimum filing fee for an Alteration Type 1 permit for a one-family dwelling would increase from $100 to $170. The fee for a foundation permit would remain ten dollars for each two thousand feet of area, but the minimum fee would increase from $100 to $130. The law would increase the cost of temporary fencing or a sidewalk shed permit from $130 to $160. (read more…)

    Planning fees upped by 8%

    Fee Change  •  Citywide

    Two new supplemental fees created. The City Planning Commission adopted an eight percent increase in land use application fees and CEQR near fees to become effective August 10, 2009. The approved changes also include two new supplemental fees: one triggered by land use applications for all projects over 500,000 sq.ft., and another for projects that necessitate a restrictive declaration related to the environmental review.

    A supplemental fee for land use applications involving projects between 500,000 and 999,000 sq.ft. will be $80,000. For construction between 1 million and 2.49 million sq.ft., the fee increases to $120,000. All projects over 2.5 million sq.ft. will trigger the maximum fee of $160,000. (read more…)
