| CLIENT: | Wonder Kitchens for Apex Imaging Services |
| LOCATION: | Larchmont, NY |
| PROJECT TYPE: | Shopping Center Tenant Improvement |
Permit Place recently completed permit expediting services for Wonder Kitchens, a shopping center tenant improvement (TI) project in Larchmont, NY, on behalf of Apex Imaging Services. The engagement focused specifically on securing a Health Permit for a new Wonder Kitchens location as part of a shopping center tenant improvement, coordinating closely with the Village of Larchmont Building Department and local Health Department officials.
As part of Apex Imaging Services’ broader APEX program, this location required efficient, replicable processes to keep the rollout on schedule. Permit Place managed the full submittal cycle ensuring the Wonder Kitchens team could move quickly into construction and operational planning.
Challenges
This project required an in-person submittal, which meant we had to physically walk the plans into the Village of Larchmont Building Department and the appropriate Health Department office. The jurisdiction had recently changed its address and phone number, creating confusion around where and how to submit. This posed a risk of delay to the tenant improvement timeline and the broader APEX program schedule.
Solutions and Strategies
Leveraging its established Due Diligence process, Permit Place quickly identified and verified the jurisdiction’s updated contact and location information. Through proactive measures and direct outreach, the team confirmed submittal requirements and coordinated timing with stakeholders to avoid missed windows. Strategic application planning ensured all Health Permit documentation was complete and aligned with local expectations on the first pass, supporting an efficient plan check approval.
Project Wins
Despite the jurisdictional changes and in-person submittal requirements, Permit Place secured the Wonder Kitchens Health Permit in just 18 days from receipt of plans. During the process, the team built a direct relationship with the local Health Department, creating a reliable point of contact for future submittals within the APEX program. This new connection positions Apex Imaging Services and Wonder Kitchens for faster approvals on upcoming locations, reinforcing the value of coordinated, program-level permit expediting services.
