When a single owner or multiple owners of a piece of property apply to construct a new building or enlarge an existing building, all supporting documents must be submitted to the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB).
Overview
This includes filing the correct Zoning Exhibits with the City Register or County Clerk’s office and obtaining a CRFN (City Register File Number). The CRFN is required before submitting the application and supporting documents to the DOB for review.
These are the five types of Zoning Exhibits:
I
Single OwnershipFor property that is in single ownership. The Zoning Resolution requires that a title company licensed to do business in NY State certify the parties having interest in the zoning lot.
Must be filed in conjunction with Exhibit III.
II
Multiple OwnershipFor property that is in multiple ownership. This is treated as one zoning lot with a Declaration of Restrictions that may be written individually or collectively with regard all interested parties. The Zoning Resolution requires that a title company licensed to do business in NY State certify the parties having interest in the zoning lot.
Must be filed in conjunction with Zoning Lot Certification (Exhibits) III and IV.
III
Ownership StatementThe Ownership Statement lists every party in interest for the zoning lot and is recorded against each lot number shown on the Certification.
Filed with the City Register or County Clerk’s office to obtain a CRFN.
IV
Lot CertificationSelect for any job requiring a Zoning Lot Certification Exhibit II (Multiple Ownership). The Zoning Resolution requires all parties in interest listed in Exhibit II must sign Exhibit IV or V and have executed and recorded the declaration or waived their respective rights.
Recorded with the Declaration of Restrictions.
V
Waiver of InterestSelect for any job requiring a Zoning Lot Certification Exhibit II, if any parties listed in Exhibit II are waiving interest. The Zoning Resolution requires that each party in interest has executed and recorded the declaration or waived their respective rights.
Signed and acknowledged by each waiving party.
