Effective August 23, 2025, all electrical jobs filed in the Buildings Information System (BIS) that have not been signed off by the Department of Buildings (DOB) will be marked as Abandoned in BIS.

To complete and sign off on an Abandoned BIS job, you must reinstate it in DOB NOW: Build.

If you have any electrical applications ready for sign-off, we recommend starting the process now to avoid additional steps or potential issues in DOB NOW due to upcoming system changes.

For more info refer to Buildings Bulletin 2024-008 for guidance on when to apply the 2025 NYC Electrical Code vs. the 2011 edition.
