Landmark brick pointing -- permit required

I need to repoint the edge of the brick sidewall of my brownstone where it meets the brownstone front of the building. A crack has opened along that seam. I'm in a landmark district. My contractor has submitted a proposal (for less than $1000.) and has not mentioned a permit. But according to my Landmarks Commission handbook, a permit is required for brick pointing. Should I apply for a permit or go ahead without one?

The sawdust is from untreated wood. It's from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, for use as compost.

Well then...let's go! I'll post it on our community garden group and see if anyone can pick it up.
