  • Опубліковано 28 лис 2019
  • In NYC building alterations can be filed as an Alteration Type 1 or Alteration Type 2 with the Department of Buildings for a building permit. An alteration Type 1 or Alt 1 is an alteration that results in a new or amended Certificate of Occupancy (CofO). An Alteration Type 2 or Alt 2 does not. An Alt 2 does not allow for changes in Use, Occupancy, or Egress.
    To learn more about the difference between Alt 1 and Alt 2 DOB Filing you can read a blog post by Jorge Fontan on Alt 1 and Alt 2 filing:

    thank you for sharing! very helpful. would a property that has an Alt Type 1 filing to rebuild (but only does a partial demolish) considered a new construction property? Or would only new building filing be considered a new construction property?

    Does group change from 6 to 4 require ALT 1? or it's possible to get Letter of No Objection without it.

    I would love to know your thoughts on basement use. For example, a 3 story building + basement with one apartment on each floor. The lowest apartment wants to become a 2 story apartment by adding a stair into the basement

    • @JorgeFontan

      You have to be careful with the use of term basement. Do you mean basement or cellar? These are 2 different things.

    • @peterroetzer8881
      @peterroetzer8881 4 роки тому

      You’re right. My terms were incorrect. 2 stories plus basement. Basement apartment becoming a 2 story apartment by using the cellar space.

    Superb video, so essentially adding another floor to an already existing home, but not changing the occupancy is still considered an Alt-1?

    • @JorgeFontan
      @JorgeFontan  4 роки тому +1

      Adding a floor to anything is always an Alt 1.

    What happens if you aren't going up vertically and instead doing an extension in the rear?

    • @MrHellenas23

      Same story its usually Alt1. Extension vertical or horizontal follows the exact same rules

    If I am converting a 1 family home to a 2 family home with a extra floor being added than what would that be considered alt 1 or alt 2?
