BIS

The Building Information System (BIS) mainframe allows for submission of job filing directly to a DOB borough office. Previously BIS for job filings were made in-person at a DOB borough office. BIS job filings are now processed and submitted in eFiling except:

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.

Accessing BIS

You do not need to sign up to access information in BIS. Using BIS, you can search for general information on a property in the City including recorded complaints, violations, actions, applications, and inspections. Get started using BIS.
