Getting a commercial permit approved in New York City can feel like navigating a maze. Between city agencies, plan review cycles, and ever-evolving codes, delays can derail timelines and budgets. Our expert New York City permit expediters help cut through the red tape and get your permits approved quickly — with less stress and fewer surprises.

Our New York City permit expediters manage every detail of the process — so you don’t have to.
We’ve helped thousands of companies streamline their permit approvals in New York and across the country.
Timelines depend on the scope of your project and which agencies are involved. Standard DOB plan reviews can take several weeks, especially if multiple objections arise. Projects eligible for Professional Certification (Pro-Cert) or Fast Track review can often move more quickly. Our team will guide you to the fastest option.
While there is no formal “expedited” program, some project types may qualify for Pro-Cert or Fast Track, which can significantly reduce review time. We’ll evaluate your project and help you submit under the most efficient path available.
