How we work
Accurate site conditions, measurements, lighting specifications, and projection details are critical before any permit filing begins.
Complete project information, including tenant and property owner details, is required before filing can begin.
Project scope clarity is essential. We must determine whether the work involves a new installation, legalization of an existing sign, design review, illuminated signage, awnings, or sidewalk projections,before permit coordination begins.
Electrical scope must also be determined, including whether the signage is internally illuminated, externally lit, or non-illuminated, as this directly impacts permit requirements.
Real Regulatory Knowledge
We understand the operational difference between architectural approval and licensed installation permits in NYC.
Structured Intake Process
Every project is reviewed for zoning, projection, electrical scope, and landmark restrictions before filing.
Compliance-First Approach
We prioritize code compliance and regulatory coordination over fabrication or sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do all signs require a permit in NYC?
Not all signs require the same permits. Requirements depend on size, projection, electrical scope, zoning regulations, and landmark conditions. Each project must be reviewed individually to determine compliance requirements.
2. Is architectural plan approval the same as an installation permit?
No. Architectural plan approval does not automatically authorize sign installation. Separate permits and licensed filings may still be required under DOB and electrical regulations.
3. Do you manage projects from design through installation?
We specialize in permit coordination and regulatory compliance. When required, we coordinate with licensed designers, engineers, and installation teams to ensure compliance from planning through installation.
4. Do you provide sign design services?
We review design proposals for compliance purposes. Formal design services may be coordinated separately when required.
5. Do you provide sign fabrication or installation?
Our primary focus is permit coordination and compliance management. Fabrication and installation services may be coordinated separately when required.
6. Is there a fee for site visits or feasibility reviews?
Initial feasibility reviews are structured services. Site surveys and field measurements are scheduled separately when required and may involve a service fee depending on scope and location. All fees are communicated in advance.
7. How long does the permit process take?
Timelines vary depending on project scope, agency review, objections, and third-party coordination. A feasibility review is required before estimating timelines.
8. What information is required before starting?
Project location, sign type, dimensions, projection details, lighting specifications, and tenant/property information are required before filing can begin.
9. Can you assist with existing sign violations?
Yes. We coordinate resolution strategies for DOB and DOT sign violations, including removal, legalization, and compliance strategy when applicable.
10. Do you guarantee permit approval?
Permit approval is subject to agency review and regulatory compliance. While we coordinate filings and compliance strategy, final approval is determined by the reviewing authority.
11. Can architectural plan approval authorize sign installation?
Architectural plan approval does not automatically authorize sign installation.In many cases, separate permits and filings by a properly licensed professional are still required under NYC Department of Buildings regulations before installation can proceed.
