Permits for waterproofing foundation

My contractor proposes to waterproof my foundation.  A trench wil be dug for this purpose.  According to the DOB website, a trench 5 feet or deeper requires shoring or bracing.  In another section of the DOB website, it is stated that “permits are required for most [excavation] work.”  My question is, for a trench less than 5 feet (say, 4 feet) is a permit required?

You can dig 4′.  Otherwise, you need a plan and permit filed.
