new dob approval process
Does anyone know anything about the new plan examination process at Brooklyn DOB for self-certifying applications? This was a total surprise to our architect, and we're kind of flummoxed.

The DOB is auditing all alt1 filings that are self certified I have heard, however I have had an alt2 filing that was self certified audited, and technically these audits are purely for zoning conformance and not code conformance. I did not know about this and had not heard about it until it happened. There is also a new department showing up on self certified and or directive 14 projects to inspect the job, I have never in 15 years seen an inspector on an alt 2 residential renovation, but there he was. Personally, I think the self certification process contains too much risk these days.
