How to Close Out a 1993 Open Plumbing Permit in Brooklyn
I found an old open plumbing permit in NYC DOB records for my Brooklyn property.
Details:
Permit issued and approved 05/07/1993, expired 05/07/1994
Work description: replace 3 bathroom fixtures on existing roughing
Contractor: Raspante Plumbing (no longer in business)
The permit was approved but never officially closed out. I do not plan on selling or refinancing anytime soon.
Questions:
Is it worth closing out an old permit like this for peace of mind, even if it has been open for over 30 years without issue?
If I do want to close it, who should I contact since the original plumbing company no longer exists? Will I need to hire another licensed master plumber to inspect and certify the work?
Could leaving it open cause problems down the road, even without plans to sell or refinance?
Looking for advice from anyone who’s dealt with clearing out old DOB permits in NYC.
