DOB Inspection Ready Program Goes Live
This past week on 12/7/15 the DOB's Inspection Ready Program has gone live and is now the only way to
schedule a multitude of required departmental inspections.
This new system allows licensees, owners, and their delegates to schedule inspections, track inspections results
and view application related records electronically and online. Users are able to schedule virtually all inspections
through this service. These inspections include: Boilers; Builders Pavement Plans; Construction; Cranes &
Derricks; Electrical; Elevators; House Connections; Plumbing; and Sustainability.
The system is arranged and sorted by DOB permit numbers and any permit that is in an “inspectable” status
(meaning a job is approved and permit has been issued) will show up in the buildings list for associated owners
and licensees once they register. Contractors and Licensed Professionals will be linked to permits via their license
numbers. Owners will be linked to permits that their email appears on the PW 1 application for the particular
permit. Expeditors can only perform actions and schedule inspections once they are delegated by a registered
owner or licensed professional.
It is important that if not done already all owners and licensed professionals register now so that inspections are
not held up and delays incurred in case any issues arise. Licensed Professionals and owners will need to be
registered to be able to delegate authorization to consultants and expediters who they authorize to work on their
behalf. The Department of Buildings offices have kiosks set up to help any licensed professionals that are having
trouble registering. In addition there are tutorials and online resources via the DOB website and link below.
This is a big change and there are many moving parts, to make the process easier for all Licensed Professionals
and Owners please contact our team at Domani Consulting, we are available for any questions and issues that
may arise. We can set up assistance when needed virtually or in person to be able to walk you through the
process step by step to ensure there are no delays.
