Hi,
\nI can’t tell if we’ve been duped or just had a misunderstanding with our contractor. We thought we were all ready to reface the facade of our 4 unit, 4 story brownstone coop. We got a loan, interviewed several contractors, called references, read archives and compared bids. Just as we were all set to begin, the contractor tells us that we need to file a permit with the DOB. We thought all along that this was something they would do. I looked on the DOB website and an engineer or registered architect needs to file the permits for refacing. Has anyone hired one of these professionals, separate from your refacing contractor, just to file the permits? Any recommendations or advice (aside from “we’re idiots”)? Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
