DOT Permits for New York city construction sites

Since 1986, Design 2147 has identified and secured New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) permits for a wide range of construction projects. Our DOT Permitting division, led by Ilani Ramos, is trusted by owners, general contractors, construction managers, and equipment rental companies because we offer:

  • Four decades of experience working with the DOT across all five boroughs of New York City.
  • A dedicated, full-time DOT permit coordinator focused exclusively on permit management and agency coordination.
  • A proactive permit tracking system that automatically tracks permit expirations and renewals to help clients avoid costly lapses, fines, or delays.
  • Cost and risk mitigation through preventive automated management, saving clients thousands of dollars in missed deadlines and violations.
  • On-site project oversight with regular site visits to ensure compliance between permitted conditions and actual construction activities (if requested).
  • Cross-disciplinary coordination between internal departments to ensure all permit requirements are aligned (e.g., DOT, DOB, lane closures, sidewalk usage).
