My plumber’s office just told me that despite filing all the paperwork for the job I’ve hired them to do two months ago, the DOB is so backed up that it could be four or five months before they get the permit and job number and that there’s some new policy the DOB has started called “prefiling” where the paperwork sits around for a while before it’s actually processed (meanwhile the DOB has cashed the check)….Is anybody else out there experiencing this sort of thing or did I hire the wrong pumber? This is a small part of a larger job that is now feeling like the lynchpin.
