Beginning January 26, 2026, Alt-CO – New Buildings with Existing Elements to Remain, new Full Demolition filings, and AHV Permits will have updated fee calculations for subsequent filings in DOB NOW: Build.

Alt-CO – New Buildings with Existing Elements to Remain & New Alteration Jobs in Conjunction with an Alt-CO

Rather than the $130 flat fee, subsequent filing fees will be calculated based on the construction cost reported on the filing.

• 1, 2, or 3-Family = $170 (for the first $5,000) + $2.60 (per each $1,000 above $5,000)

• Buildings Below 7 Floors = $280 (for the first $3,000) + $10.30 (per each $1,000 above $3,000)

• Building 7 Floors or Above = $290 (for the first $3,000) + $17.75 (per each $1,000 above $3,000)

This will only apply to the following work types for Alt-Co – New Buildings with Existing Elements to Remain:

• Plumbing, Sprinkler, Standpipe, General Construction, Mechanical Systems, Structural, Support of Excavation, Protection and Mechanical

Full Demolition

A “Record Management” fee will be charged for initial filings submitted on or after the launch date according to the building type:

• 1, 2, or 3-Family = $45

• Other = $165

After Hours Variance (AHV) Permit Fees

Filings that are fee-exempt (other than government-owned properties) will now be charged a standard fee for AHV’s.
