Expediting Special Inspections & Grandfather Provision Expirations: How to Avoid Costly Delays

In NYC’s fast-paced real estate market, delays can quickly translate into thousands of dollars lost. Two common regulatory hurdles—special inspections and expiring grandfather provisions—can halt your project if not managed properly. Here’s how you can stay ahead and keep your development on track.

1. What Are Special Inspections?

Special inspections ensure that specific elements of your project comply with NYC building codes, covering areas such as structural stability, fire safety, and energy efficiency.

Why It Matters: Missing these inspections can result in work stoppages and costly fines. You can avoid project delays by scheduling inspections early and partnering with an expeditor.

2. Grandfather Provisions: What You Need to Know

Grandfather provisions allow older buildings to operate under previous code requirements. However, many of these provisions are expiring, requiring buildings to meet updated standards.

Impact on Projects: If you’re planning renovations or new construction, it’s essential to determine whether your project falls under an expiring grandfather provision. Once these expire, the cost of bringing your property up to code can surge.

3. How Expediting Helps You Avoid Delays

An experienced expeditor navigates the complex NYC regulatory landscape, ensuring that special inspections are completed on time and grandfather provisions are addressed before expiration.

Proactive Compliance Saves You Money: Recently, we helped a commercial property developer avoid a significant delay and $75,000 in potential costs due to expiring grandfather provisions. We ensured their project moved smoothly and on schedule by fast-tracking their special inspections and managing the transition to updated building codes.

4. Fast-Track Your Project: Key Steps

Schedule Special Inspections Early: Don’t wait—work with an expeditor to ensure your inspections are lined up, keeping your project on schedule.

Review Grandfather Provisions: Evaluate whether your property’s compliance is at risk due to expiring provisions.

Hire an Expeditor: A professional expeditor knows the ins and outs of NYC’s permitting and regulatory process, helping you avoid common pitfalls.
