Rooftop Deck

If I'm getting an expediter to file a deck proposal with the DOB, do I need the design to be signed off on by an architect? Does the Expediter do this? I have an auto-cad design that was originally done by an architect who is no longer available, and we need to make some very simple alterations to the plan. I'm wondering if I can just have a non-architect make the changes and then have an expediter sign off on them. Anyone have any advice?

arch or engineer to stamp and sign off.

Great. Thanks for the info.

Anyone know of an arch or engineer that would be willing to do this? I imagine it would take about 20-30 minutes of work. Very minor revisions.

get recs from the expediter - they will know the absolute cheapest professionals for jobs that don't really require anything but a license...

Call Geovany. He is a project manager for a prominent architect. He does the design changes on his own and gets a stamp from the architect he works for. Very reasonable. He can also do the expediting. I have used him on a couple jobs. 646-320-2747. Tell him Bill sent you.

There are only a few posts here, so let me suggest please putting *roof decks* (or other key words) in the brownstoner search box. This topic has come up on brownstoner before, and there are many excellent replies.
