Record research drives the application
Historic permits, I-cards, plans and occupancy evidence can determine whether the request is supportable.
NYC Letter of No Objection (LNO)
A Letter of No Objection can be important when an older building has no Certificate of Occupancy or when proof of a legal use is needed from DOB records.
What This Service Covers
DOB states an LNO may be issued in certain situations where no CO is available or where the use shown in records differs but remains within the same applicable use/occupancy framework and egress/occupant load are substantially unchanged.
LNO is not a shortcut around a real change of use
Some conditions require an Alteration-CO rather than a letter.
DOB controls the determination
No private company can guarantee an LNO will be issued.
