Last time I got copies made of DOB plans it cost about $150, about the same price I pay my dominatrix to allow me to lick the  soles of her barn mucking hip waders.   They can be printed in different sizes if I recall. Also, plans may not be “findable” until job is officially signed off on.

The procedure is very simple. You go down to DOB, request a copy of the plans, Pay the legal extortion fee, get your copy.
