Do I Need a Work Permit?
I am having my kitchen gut renovated and a contractor came by today with an estimate for the job. He stated that I will need to obtain a work permit because it will take over 2 weeks to complete. Is that correct? The job involves demolition of the current kitchen in installation of new cabinets.

OY.
Are you in a religious neighborhood where people observe shabbos? It is nice if you could respect the religious day but it is not illegal if you don’t. Just try to be quiet about it.
What Ysabelle said. You’re not doing anything wrong by not having a permit. You don’t have to hide. And while there are laws about weekend work (not just Saturdays), Midwood does not dictate NYC law.
troll, based on 6:39 and 6:42, you don’t need a permit. imho.
Ysabelle – I am replacing everything in the same location. However there will be lots of garbage to take out. The contractor said that he will have a van remove the stuff instead of getting a dumpster. I live in the Midwood section and as long as no work is done on a saturday, everyone is ok. The contractor ensured me that it will be as clean as possible and no sign of the work will be seen outside the house.
No plumbing or electrical being moved.
if you are replacing everything in the same location the answer is no.
Are your neighbors going to rat you out because they see cabinets going in and out? If not, no permit needed. But if the contractor makes a mess out front and is a general asshole then they will rat you out. What neighborhood are you in? It makes a difference.
who will pay for the initial $500 fine that you will get if you do not file?
