Completed facade elevation on a New York City building renovation

Stage 06 · How we work

Finish the work, close the record, hand it over

A repair that is built but not closed out leaves the building carrying an open condition. The last stage is the one that ends it.

Building the repair and closing the record are two different jobs. A building can have the first without the second and still be carrying the condition on paper.

Documenting the correction

What the condition was, what was done about it and where. This is the file the building keeps, and the one that answers the question when the next cycle or the next owner asks it.

Violations and the record

Corrective work

The condition behind the violation actually corrected, which is the part that cannot be shortcut.

Submission

The correction submitted to the relevant agency in the form it requires.

Agency decision

Removal or dismissal is granted by the agency, subject to its review. We prepare and submit; we do not decide the outcome, and nobody can promise one.

Re presenting

Where an agency comes back with a question, it is answered and resubmitted.

Closing the loop

Final inspection

Where the permit or the cycle requires one, arranged with the access still in place.

Sign-off

Granted by the agency where the filing and the work satisfy it.

Protection removed

The shed and scaffold come down once the condition is corrected, not a season later.

Handover

The record of the work, and a maintenance plan for the building if it is wanted.

What the owner is left with

A corrected condition, a documented file, the protection off the sidewalk and a building that re enters its cycle compliant rather than carrying something forward.

Questions

Frequently asked

No, and neither can anyone else. Removal is granted by the agency on its review. What can be done is to correct the underlying condition properly and submit it in the form the agency requires.

It depends on the agency, the filing and what the review raises. The part within our control is that the work is complete and the submission is right the first time.

If it is wanted, yes - a plan for the building based on what the work found.

Close-out

Ask what it takes to close the record

Send the violation or the open filing and we will tell you what correcting and closing it out actually involves.
