Changing size of patio garden

I’m renovating my garden patio area. I currently have a dirt garden on some of it, and intend to change the size a bit (not by much, say 15 sqft or so). Someone told me there is some sort of DOB regulation about changing the amount of concrete covering of your patio, but I can’t find any info on this. I’m not in a landmarked district. Does anyone know if there’s any truth to this and what exactly is allowed?

Yes technically there is, if you cover ground you’re supposed to supply drains or drywells and it would be very complicated and expensive. However I think you’d be safe just added 15 sq feet of patio without filing anything.
