Inexperienced
I took on an inexperienced Architect to file a job. The architect filed the job as an A-2, and according to the DOB it should have be filed as an A-1, due to the non used of the rear building’s certificate of occupancy. I was present at the plan examiners office when this was revealed….

Something does not make sense as the filings between alt-1 and alt-2 are completely different and your job needs to be refiled and the prices will never be the same as the scopes are not the same between the 2. However, There is a string possibility that the examiner is wrong as well and a CCD-1 may need to be filed to leave it as an alt-2 which will save you a lot of headaches.
email me the objections to brooklynexpediter@gmail.com MAYBE somtehing can be done to leave it as is ?
Live and learn most likely. It needs to be refiled properly. The expediter will charge more for an Alt I, which you would have paid for if it had been filed properly. I suppose you can always ask, but it is unrealistic as the work is done and just needs to be re-filed. I do not understand the reason for the mistake.
