NYC Building Code Accessibility Waivers

If the Department of Buildings (DOB) rejects the architectural plans for a building due to an accessibility issue, in some circumstances, a waiver recommendation may be obtained from the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities ("MOPD"). Once the appropriate forms and paperwork are submitted, MOPD will issue a recommendation to DOB, which may or may not be adopted by DOB.
