Often when a unit owner or homeowner is about to sell their property, the title search turns up old permits or filings. These were done by previous owners. Such issues can hold up the closing. S&M can help with closing out old permits or filings.
If this has happened to you, don’t despair. There is a solution. Depending on the age of the filing, and if all permits required for the project were issued back then, you will need to hire a registered architect (RA) or professional engineer (PE). They will assist with reinstating the application.
When the application for reinstatement has been approved and the reinstatement fee paid, then the close out of the application can commence. In cases where there was a plumbing permit that was not closed out, a new plumber may be needed. This is necessary if the original plumber is not available.
For those cases where the filing status shows that not all required permits were issued, the Department of Buildings (DOB) will require that the plans for the project be re-filed.
S&M Expediting can help with the close out of old filings. Give us a call.
