BIS Crane Notice
Document Submissions & Payments in DOB NOW: Build

Starting

May 3, 2021

, all documents and
payments for Cranes Notices (CN) still active in BIS
(CNs initially filed prior to July 7, 2020) must be made in

DOB NOW: Build.

DOB
will no longer allow for in-person drop off of
payments, plans, drawings, forms or supporting
documentation for BIS CN renewals and amendments.
These changes will only affect the documents
and payments related to the BIS CN filings.

While
documents will now be processed in DOB NOW
(including objections and approval stamps),
information related to the CN itself will still only
show in BIS. These CNs will not be migrated to DOB
NOW. BIS will continue serving as the system for
these types of filings. Any information amended
through the documents submitted in DOB NOW will be
amended in BIS to reflect the changes.

Exceptions

Responses to objections to a Crane Notice amendment
or renewal that has already been started in BIS can
still be dropped off at the Cranes & Derricks Unit
at 2 Lafayette Street, 12th Floor. CD7s for Tower
Cranes will also continue to be submitted in the
drop box until further notice.

Please review the
Service
Notice for full details.
