Are these fees reasonable?

We just got a quote from an Expediter for a Brownstone gut rehab, and I can’t tell if it is high or in the ballpark. Here it is: Code and zoning consulting: $250/mtg ALT I $4350 Landmarks $3000 ALT II $2150 Permits for Alt I $950 Construction fence permit $350 Plumbing permit $375 Sheeting and shoring permit $650 Special inspections $975 Equipment use approval $350 Equipment use permits $150/ea C of O $12,500 Construction signoff $975/ea Withdrawal of applications pending $1075/ea Final sign for sheeting/shoring $650 Permits for underpinning, sheeting, shoring, foundation, and excavation $750 Alt II Boiler Approval $1350 Boiler permit $350 Special inspection boiler chimney & flue $575 Boiler signoff $750 or Temporary C of O $7500 Renewal of TCO every 90 days $950/ea Amendments $1350/ea Change to applicant of record for inspections $350/ea Predetermination/Determination filed with DOB Boro commissioner $2500/ea Builder?s Pavement plan signoff/concrete test reports $600 Pluming signoff with OP 98 for roughing and finishes $600/ea Boiler signoff with OP 98 for roughing and finishes $600/ea Dismissal of DOB violations $450/ea Dismissal Environmental Control Board violations $750/ea Attending ECB hearing $250/ea After hour work permits $350/ea @ DOB After hour permits filed @ Dept of Transportation $175/ea Total: Approx $28,750 Can anyone advise?

It depends on scope of your project, how good your head designer/architect is and how well the architect/engineers on the project work with the expediter. Unfortunately many expediters only concern is getting their final bill up. It’s always best if all the professionals on the project have worked together before. www.curatedny.com

That is not a total for the project, it’s just a schedule of fees. Some of it will apply some of it will not. And yes it’s reasonable.

That sounds really really high to the tune of like $20k to me but maybe my job was significantly smaller scale than yours. I’m not even sure why you need to file and alt2 if you are filing an alt1\. I would talk to some other people.
