2022 NYC Building Codes are Here

The 2022 NYC Building Code has gone in to effect on November 7th, 2022. In most cases "the 2014 Construction Codes apply to applications for permits when the application for construction document approval is submitted before November 7, 2022.” After that point, the 2022 Code will apply. This cutoff applies only to DOB documents; any documents submitted under other agencies (ie DOT or DEP) do not fall under this deadline.

Some major changes include new Special Inspections and TR requirements and fee changes. For more information, read on here.
