DOB is Launching a Remote
Video Inspections Pilot Program

The Department
is piloting Remote Video Inspections (RVI) from March 19 –
April 30, 2021 for certain inspection types using digital
video technology. Read our Service Notice for
more details.

This
voluntary program will replace the in-person inspections for
the following:

Construction Final Inspections

in Staten Island

Rescission of Stop Work Orders issued for Construction
Work Without Permit

in Brooklyn

Eligible
applicants and owners can request to take part in the pilot
program when scheduling an inspection and will also be given
the option to participate by Department staff when an
eligible inspection is requested.

What's
needed to participate: A DOB
Remote Video Inspection (RVI) Request and Attestation Form will be required to
participate. Once a remote inspection is scheduled, unit
staff will provide more details and instructions for using
Microsoft Teams prior to the time of inspection. Find out
more.
