The Department of Buildings (DOB) has published a map of all Essential Construction sites.

If the BIN is identified as an essential or emergency construction site on the map a new request does not need to be submitted. Please carefully review the map and reach out to our office if you have any questions.

If your Essential Construction Request previously received an error, the error message has been clarified to state:

• This BIN has already been identified as an essential or emergency construction site. A new request does not need to be submitted. For more information, see the Essential Active Construction Sites map.

Additionally a procedure for electrical and limited alteration applications (LAA) essential construction requests has been created, please see the DOB’s Service Notice for instructions here.
