| In order to enhance users' experience on DOB NOW: Build, the following additional system updates have been made: Site
      Survey: Initial and Plot Diagram: Added as Required Documents for New
      Building, Alteration-COs and Alterations with enlargement, General
      Construction (GC) filings. Zoning and Special Districts: Paired
      districts and three new special districts were added as selections for
      Zoning Information. Requests
      to waive or defer a required document: Any stakeholder can now select
      the option to request a waiver or deferral, not just the applicant. The
      request is not submitted until the filing/permit is submitted by the
      applicant. Also, waiver/deferral requests can be made at any time, not
      just at the stage indicated on the required document. e.g.
      a waiver for a document that is required prior to permit can now be
      requested when the job is in pre-filing status. Standpipe
      Alarm Drawings document: Standpipe Alarm Drawings are no longer
      populating as a required document for 1, 2 or 3-family properties. It is
      a required document for NB and AltCO jobs where
      the existing building height is <75 ft and the proposed building
      height is >75 feet. Work
      Permit data fields added in the Public Portal: Applicant/Contractor
      and Permit Expiration Date were added as fields when viewing permits in
      the Public Portal. |
