• Alteration required to meet New Building requirements? (Yes = Alteration CO – New Building with Existing Elements to Remain)
• Alteration is inconsistent with the current Certificate of Occupancy? (Yes = Alteration CO) • Alteration in occupancy or use? (Yes = Alteration CO)
• Alteration is a major change to exits? (Yes = Alteration CO)
• Alteration in number of stories? (Yes = Alteration CO if Building Type is 3 Family or Other)

• Sprinkler and Standpipe Systems - Fire Suppression Piping Replacement and Repairs - Fire Suppression Contractor (FSC) Only
• Oil Burner Installations - Oil Burner Installers (OBI) Only
New Building – An application for the construction of a new building. If the job requires the demolition of an existing building, a separate demolition application must be filed. New Building should not be selected if any existing building elements are to remain—for example a part of an old foundation, a portion of a façade that will be incorporated into the construction, etc. If any existing building elements will be retained in place as part of the construction, the application must be filed as an Alteration CO – New Building with Existing Elements to Remain (28-101.4.5).
No Work – Applications for Place of Assembly and Temporary Place of Assembly. Place of Assembly occupancy classifications are for gatherings of people for purposes like civic, social or religious functions, recreation, food or drink consumption, awaiting transportation, or similar group activities, when occupied by 75 people or more. A Place of Assembly Certificate of Operation is required. Following the approval of plans/alternate plans in accordance with BC 1028.1.3, and successful completion of DOB inspection, an initial Place of Assembly Certificate of Operation (PACO) is issued, effective for one year. Afterwards, an annual FDNY inspection for a PACO renewal is required (FC 105.6). For temporary public or private events, held indoors or outdoors, such as trade shows, concerts or private gatherings held for a limited duration, a temporary place of assembly permit is required. A Temporary Place of Assembly Certificate of Operation (TPACO) is issued to ensure the health, safety and welfare of large crowds attending these events.
