The original article discussed an older proposal for 30-day delivery of insurance and permit information. Current notice obligations must be checked under the code and law governing the project.
Under NYC Building Code § 3309.1.1, a construction or demolition project requiring adjoining-property access under that section requires written notification at least 60 calendar days before work. The notice describes the work, schedule, monitoring, protection and project contacts. If unanswered, a second notice is required between 45 and 30 calendar days before commencement.
Notice is not permission to enter
Confirm applicable code provisions, filing dates, later amendments and any other notices required for the work. Obtain an access agreement or appropriate court relief before entering neighboring property.
RPAPL 881 provides a separate procedure for qualifying access applications, including its own refusal and notice provisions. Do not confuse those provisions with the Building Code timetable. Keep copies and proof of delivery, and allow time to resolve objections before scheduling work.
