DOB Expeditors

My neighbor plans on doing major work on his house – once I see a job filing on BIS – does anyone know any expeditors I can contact that frequent the DOB often enough to obtain the plans?

why should we buy your house when we can just buy the adjoining house and steal yours?

fwiw – my thinking was that at least if he had the filed drawings outshine would be able to better understand what the neighbor is actually planning rather than just grasping at straws. however, given the level of paranoia, perhaps the lack of evidence in the drawings that property was being stolen would just serve as further evidence of nefarious behavior. you’ve gotten lots of advice, recommendations, contacts, suggestions, comforting information, etc. you persist in opening more and more threads which some of us, apparently can’t resist. i’m out. good luck to you and your neighbor. sell your house. move to the country.

Once and for all, just to be clear, it is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL for a neighbor to bust through a shared wall and build into the space inside your house. They cannot just do it and if they do, you will know it and can call the police, call DOB, etc. From this fact, several important (and obvious) points:

1. You will not see it in any drawings. If someone put that in their plans, it would not get approved. So stop looking for drawings that would show this.
2. No one would attempt this. It is an untenable proposition. They would lose, whether in court, or at a DOB hearing, etc.
3. If they try it, you will see it happen. You do not need to live in endless fear that they are thinking.scheming etc . The moment they try to bust through your wall, you will know and can take action. But they won’t do it because . . .
3a. You have complete recourse. If they do it, they cannot keep the property. You will know the instant they try it and you have recourse. You will get it back and they will be severely punished.
4. A lot of us on this website have been around the block a few times when it comes to dirty real estate tricks. It should be reassuring to you that none of us have ever heard of this happening. That is because it does not happen. it is preposterous.

oh ok – I asked about expeditors because the lawyer said that you need to get an expediter to get something done. Even then with an expediter, it can be a problem.

no website. (212) 627-1050
drawings are blueprints. anyone can access them, they are publicly filed, you do not need an expediter.
