With the holidays fast approaching, we wanted to take a moment to remind all our family and friends of closings and/or construction embargoes so that you can plan accordingly.

The Department of Buildings will be closed for the following upcoming holidays:

• Election Day Tuesday, November 7, 2017
• Veterans Day Friday, November 10, 2017
• Thanksgiving Day Thursday, November 23, 2017
• Christmas Day Monday, December 25, 2017

Additionally, be aware that starting Wednesday November 15, 2017, the 2017 Department of Transportation Holiday Construction Embargo will go into effect and last through January 2, 2018.
Routine (non-emergency) work shall not be permitted unless approval from New York City Department of Transportation’s (NYCDOT) Office of Construction Mitigation and Coordination (OCMC) is first obtained. Emergency Street Openings/excavations are not affected by the embargo, but still require an emergency number obtained by the department in compliance with 34 RCNY §2-11.
