Using BIS

Professional Certification Builders Pavement Plan (BPP)

Full Demolition (DM)

Landmarks with a ‘C designation - Calendared marked properties

Legalization

No Work Projects

Subdivision

School Construction Authority applications

For the above project/work types or additional considerations, create and print the PW1 and EF1 in eFiling and then drop it off at a borough office with payment by check. Use eSubmit to upload the plans and required documents.

BPP can be submitted as standard plan examination only in HUB Full-Service. Properties with L – Landmark as the Landmark Status on the BIS Property Profile page can be submitted in HUB Full-Service or HUB Self-Service. For professionally certified BPP applications or properties with C – Calendar as the Landmark Status on the BIS Property Profile page, create and print the PW1 and EF1 in eFiling and then drop it off at a borough office with payment by check. Use eSubmit to upload the plans and required documents.
