DOB COVID-19 Response Update: License and Permit Expiration Dates

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Buildings has been making sure that permitted work is able to continue while keeping you updated on any guideline changes related to the construction industry. Here are some important changes to practices that were in effect as part of New York City's COVID-19 response:

Now that regular construction work has resumed, licenses/registrations and permits will no longer be automatically extended. All licenses/registrations and permits issued by the Department with an original expiration date on or after August 7, 2020 will expire on that original expiration date per Mayoral Emergency Executive Order No. 134.

Licenses/registrations and permits that were subject to Mayoral Emergency Executive Order No. 107, subsequent orders, and Local Law 57 of 2020, which were automatically extended through August 6, 2020, will expire according to the schedule below. For more information, please review our Service Notice.
