What is different about soffit & fascia replacement in New York
New York City operates its own construction codes and DOB filing process; a project that is a one-form permit upstate can require a licensed filing representative in the five boroughs.
Owner-builder: Homeowner permits allowed upstate; New York City is far more restrictive. Soffit & Fascia Replacement is one of the scopes a homeowner can more realistically permit themselves.
