The After Hours Variance Map is a tool to confirm whether construction projects on their block have the proper permits to work at night and on weekends. An after-hours variance (AHV) permit is required to perform construction work in New York City before 7:00 am, after 6:00 pm, or on the weekend.

The DOB NOW Public Portal contains information on applications submitted in DOB NOW, compliance filings for boilers, elevators and facades, and violations issued to property owners for failing to file annual boiler inspection reports and elevator inspection/test reports.
