From NYC.GOV
Get it Done. Together. is the Department’s new pilot program aimed at accelerating construction project approvals and spurring economic growth across the City. Under the pilot program, the Department’s five Borough Commissioners and senior representatives from other City agencies will form a working group to meet with private industry members and property owners to further streamline permitting requirements, resolve regulatory conflicts and cut the red tape that surrounds some of the City’s largest and smallest projects. During weeknights in the month of May 2011, the working group met with property owners, licensed architects and/or engineers and filing representatives whose projects have yet to be approved due to previous objections raised by the Department’s Plan Examiners. Due to the success of the pilot program, the Department has extended the program trhough the month of August from 2:00pm to 5:00pm during the day.
