My husband and I are acting as our own GCs. We have our plans approved (for months now) and the electrician and plumber have succeeded in pulling permits for their portions of the renovation, but DOB mysteriously denied us our permits and, typically, will not tell us why. They claim they will call my husband with an appointment time to tell him why we can’t have our permits but I don’t believe it. We had the right insurance waiver and everything…anyone with any experience have any idea why we can’t get our permits? All advice appreciated.
