Our DOB Filing Process
Jeffrey Kamen DOB Services helps clients understand the steps involved in DOB filing, permit expediting, zoning analysis, plan examination, objection response, approvals, and project closeout. The process is designed to provide clear communication, practical guidance, and reliable coordination from the first inquiry through permit approval and closeout.
1
Submit an Inquiry
The process begins when you submit an inquiry through the website. After the inquiry is reviewed, we will follow up by email and phone to schedule a consultation.
3
Proposal Acceptance
+ Zoning Analysis
After acceptance of the project proposal, we will perform zoning analysis and review the project requirements, including available drawings, documents, and
property information.
5
DOB Submission
We coordinate the DOB submission process and help move the required filing materials forward.
7
Objection Response, If Any
If DOB objections are issued, we review the objections, develop a response strategy, and coordinate the required revisions or documentation needed to keep the project moving forward.
2
Consultation + Project Review
During the consultation, we will review your project, discuss your goals, and answer initial questions you may have about DOB filing, permits, zoning, code requirements, or approval needs.
4
Final Review + Filing Strategy
After the final review, we will discuss the recommended filing strategy and outline the best path forward for
DOB submission.

Plan Examination
From NYC DOB
The filing moves through plan examination with the New York City Department of Buildings. We help coordinate review, communication, and required follow-up.

Permit Approval / Closeout
Once approvals are secured, we help coordinate permit approval, sign-offs, and closeout steps as applicable.
