New York City businesses and homeowners who rebuilding after Superstorm Sandy are set to get a break on fees within the Department of Buildings for items ranging from plumbing permits to fire alarm testing fees to boiler registrations.
As the City continues its recovery and assistance operations to help New Yorkers affected by Hurricane Sandy, we are waiving application and permit fees for repairs to buildings that were damaged,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “It will ensure that New Yorkers fixing their homes will not have to incur additional expenses, and we are going to do everything we can to help those displaced by Hurricane Sandy rebuild and recover as quickly as possible.
