Expediting and Authority Liaison

Understanding the requirements of the New York City Department of Buildings and Fire Department can be complex.  Changes in the process are constantly occurring and lack of familiarity can cause both cost increases and delays in your project’s approval. Sparc can simplify the process, which translates to time and cost savings for your project. Allow us to guide your team through the filing process with our expertise gained from providing expediting services for hundreds of applications. 

There are instances where meetings are required with the NYCDOB, OTCR or FDNY to clarify a code requirement or discuss a complex project challenge.

Relationships Matter

Based upon our extensive experience in New York City and providing these services for other clients, we have developed relationships with key personnel at the New York City Department of Buildings and New York City Fire Department.  Discussing complex building and fire code requirements during the design stages, to inspection scheduling and fire alarm system deficiencies, the ability to address a fire alarm challenge directly with decision-makers at the NYCDOB and FDNY is invaluable.  Communicating with the leaders or supervisors in the NYCDOB or FDNY Inspection Unit and Bureau of Fire Prevention can mean the difference between being on schedule and missing a project deadline.  Sparc has the relationships which allow this communication to occur.

Expediting and Authority Liaison Services:

  • Preparing forms and submitting plans for review by the NYC authorities
  • Preparing variance requests (Construction Code Determination CCD-1 or FDNY TM-4)
  • Remediation of Violation Orders and Letter of Defect
  • Scheduling FDNY fire alarm inspections
  • Preparing fire alarm affidavits for Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO)
  • Preparing and submitting FDNY Form TM-2 to obtain FDNY Certificate of Approval
  • Represent the client in discussions for complex topics with FDNY or NYCDOB
