Buildings After Hours

Every Tuesday evening, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, DOB's five borough offices are open late, providing one-on-one consultations for homeowners, small business owners, tenants and building managers.

This free weekly customer service event runs throughout the year, and is a great opportunity for New Yorkers to meet directly with DOB experts in-person to get answers to their questions about city construction regulations, receive guidance on resolving DOB-issued violations, or get started on the right foot with advice for their next renovation project.

So bring your questions, and stop on by at your local borough office for Buildings After Hours. No appointment necessary.
