This dataset contains all job applications submitted through the Borough Offices, through eFiling, or through the HUB, which have a "Latest Action Date" since January 1, 2000. This dataset does not include jobs submitted through DOB NOW. See the DOB NOW: Build – Job Application Filings dataset for DOB NOW jobs.

The Department of Buildings (DOB) issues permits for construction and demolition activities in the City of New York. The construction industry must submit an application to DOB with details of the construction job they would like to complete. The primary types of application, aka job type, are: New Building, Demolition, and Alterations Type 1, 2, and 3. Each job type can have multiple work types, such as general construction, boiler, elevator, and plumbing. Each work type will receive a separate permit. (See the DOB Job Application Filings dataset for information about each job application.) Each row/record in this dataset represents the life cycle of one permit for one work type. The dataset is updated daily with new records, and each existing record will be updated as the permit application moves through the approval process to reflect the latest status of the application.

A Certificate of Occupancy (CO) states a building’s legal use and/or type of permitted occupancy. New buildings must have a CO, and existing buildings must have a current or amended CO when there is a change in use, egress or type of occupancy. No one may legally occupy a building until the Department has issued a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The Department issues a final Certificate of Occupancy when the completed work matches the submitted plans for new buildings or major alterations. It issues a Letter of Completion for minor alterations to properties. These documents confirm the work complies with all applicable laws, all paperwork has been completed, all fees owed to the Department have been paid, all relevant violations have been resolved and all necessary approvals have been received from other City Agencies.

This dataset contains all Certificates of Occupancy issued since 7/12/12.

DOB NOW: BUILD is an online portal that allows users to file for permit applications, check the status of an application, make payments, schedule appointments, and print permits.

Data in this collection is limited to elevator applications (also known as ELV1) submitted through DOB NOW, and includes Initial (New), Subsequent, and Post Approval Amendment (PAA) filing types. The collection includes all electrical applications submitted to the Department of Buildings since December 11, 2017, when the applications were launched in DOB NOW and were no longer accepted through other submission processes.

This dataset contains details for each device on the application. There should be one row per device/Job Filing Number in this dataset. For example, an Initial Permit Application for Device 1234 and Device 5678 would have 2 rows (one for 1234 and one for 5678). If a Post Approval Amendment (PAA) was submitted for this application, then the Device rows would be repeated but the Job Filing Number would have a P1 suffix to indicate the PAA.

The job might have some 101 to 200 amps Service Switches as well as some Up to 100 amps Service Switches, and there would be one row/record for each.

This data set includes certificates of occupancy issued through the New York City Department of Buildings' DOB NOW: Certificate of Occupancy module. This module was released in March of 2021, anbd from that point onward this data set should be utilized instead of the "DOB Certificate of Occupancy" data set. The data is collected because the Department of Buildings tracks Certificates of Occupancies issued. This data include items such as job filing name, job filing label, BIN, Address, and Certificate of Occupancy status, sequence, label, and issuance date.


"A Certificate of Occupancy (CO) states a legal use and/or type of permitted occupancy of a building. New buildings must have a CO, and existing buildings must have a current or amended CO when there is a change in use, egress or type of occupancy. No one may legally occupy a building until the Department has issued a CO or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO).

A CO confirms that the completed work complies with all applicable laws, all paperwork has been completed, all fees owed to the Department have been paid, all relevant violations have been resolved, and all necessary approvals have been received from other City Agencies. The Department issues a final CO when the completed work matches the submitted plans for new buildings or major alterations."
