APPLICATION AND MOBILIZATION PROCESS

1. W

hat are the basic steps required to obtain a Building Permit for new construction or renovation of an existing

building involving a Change of Use?

PLANNING REVIEW – Before an applicant can obtain a Building Permit, the applicant must present evidence that

no Planning review is required for the project OR the applicant must present written evidence that the Planning

review has been completed properly.

The former case, “no review required” is determined through informal discussion between the applicant and

Planning staff. Typically, this discussion occurs during a “Pre-Development” meeting, which addresses two

specific goals: (1.) provide the applicant with comprehensive information about the Project Approval process

and (2.) determine the appropriate level of Planning review required for compliance with municipal Zoning

ordinance.

Certain types of projects, such as interior renovation or remodeling of existing structures, are typically exempt

from Planning review unless the scope of proposed work includes a change in the way the structure is being

used, i.e. a “change of use” as defined by the Zoning ordinance. Based on project information provided by the

applicant, Planning staff make this initial determination.

Planning review is or can be a complex, time intensive process. Consequently, applicants should be fully

informed about the process itself and allow adequate time for it to occur, in relation to the project schedule as a

whole.

For additional information about the PLANNING REVIEW process, please contact:

Assistant Director of Planning – Tito Martinez, tlmartinez@cityofbinghamton.com, 607-772-7028

BUILDING PERMIT

A project may require a Building Permit to comply with provisions of the New York State Code and associated

local ordinances. These codes address the planning, design, construction, operation, and demolition of new and

existing structures of all types, including residential (one and two family homes) and commercial buildings.

These codes also address ancillary or accessory structures, including decks, garages, and swimming pools. If you

are unsure whether a project requires a Building Permit, please call the local building official at the following

address: Building Inspector – Carson Jones, cajones@cityofbinghamton.com, 607-772-7010

The application for a Building Permit can be obtained online, here: http://www.binghamton-

ny.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/Building%20Permit%20Application_2.pdf or it may be obtained at

In addition to the application form, an applicant must submit one or more APPLICATION DOCUMENTS, as

described below:

1. Design documents or plans and specifications, which address all proposed work of the project, including

demolition, and which are typically prepared by a qualified design professional. At minimum, all designs

must include a formal NYS Code Analysis document. Detailed information about the form and content of

design documents can be found in Section Four, “Design Document Standards,” of this manual.

All permit applicants must submit written evidence of compliance with NYS Department of Labor

regulations for Workers Compensation and Disability. These documents may be obtained online here:

http://www.wcb.ny.gov

2. For any permit involving limited or complete demolition of an existing building, the applicant must

submit written evidence of compliance with the requirements NYS Code Rule 56, which provides

regulatory standards for Asbestos Containing Material subject to disturbance caused by demolition

activities. A copy of the Executive Summary of Findings, taken from a materials testing report prepared

by a qualified materials testing firm, is typically submitted for this purpose.

3. A Planning approval action, where required, must be completed and approved before the related

Building Permit can be issued. Under these circumstances, an applicant must submit a copy of the

Planning Approval Letter and related documents, including the approved Site Plan (if any).

4. Fee – An application fee is required for a Building Permit. A schedule of fees is attached to the Permit

Application form included in this manual.

After the application package has been completed and submitted to the Office of Building Construction, it will be

reviewed by Code staff. At this time, staff may request additional information from the applicant, such as: Code

Analysis; site plan; construction design drawings; design specifications; technical reports; and manufacturer’s

technical documentation, if any of these document are required, but not previously submitted by the applicant.

In general, Building Permits are issued and transmitted to the Property Owner AFTER all required submittals, as

described herein, have been received, reviewed, and accepted by the responsible Code official. For fully new

construction or complex reconstruction projects, the Plan Review process may require a significant amount of

time and resources. Consequently, applicants are encouraged make adequate allowance in the schedule for this

phase of the project.

Property Owners may request that a copy of the Building Permit be transmitted to one or more contractors or

design professionals, as well. The period required for review is a minimum of three (3) days. Building Permit is

valid for a period of ONE YEAR from the date upon which it is issued. The applicant may request an extension for

a period of six (6) months to complete unfinished work. If a request is not received prior to the expiration date,

the Building Permit will becomes null & void

The Property Owner, or an approved designee, is responsible for requesting all Progress Inspection(s) and Final

Inspection, pursuant to a Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance. The Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance is

issued when field inspection of the work has been completed and all work governed by the Building Permit has

been found to be in general conformance with the requirements of the NYS Code and related municipal

ordinances. A Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance will NOT be issued until are close-out documents have been

received and accepted by the Code Official (Authority Having Jurisdiction).

••

• Statement of Special Inspections •

Instructions – Preparation of the Statement of Special Inspections

1. Who Prepares the Form:

The program of inspection and testing for a project should be prepared by the Registered Design Professional

(RDP) that is in responsible charge of the building system requiring inspections and testing. The Structural

Engineer of Record (SER) should prepare the sections required for the structural elements such as foundations,

concrete, structural steel, etc. The Architect and MEP Engineer of Record should prepare the corresponding

sections of the SSI for the building systems that they are responsible for. For further explanation, please refer

to the “Guide to Special Inspections and Quality Assurance”.

2. The Front Page:

2-1. At the top of the page indicate the project name and location as they appear on the Contract

Documents, provide the Owner’s name (individual, private company, municipality, government agency,

etc.), and indicate the Design Professional In Responsible Charge. This should be the RDP in

responsible charge of the building systems for which this Statement of Special Inspections is being

prepared. See explanation in item 1 above.

2-2. Next, read the first paragraph and check the box below indicating the discipline(s) that this SSI will

encompass (Structural, Architectural, Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing, or Other).

2-3. After reading the remaining paragraphs, the RDP

must indicate the frequency of “Interim Reports”

required from the Special Inspection Coordinator for the project. This can be indicated directly on the

page, i.e. ”weekly”, or the adjacent box can be checked to attach a more specific schedule.

2-4. Near the bottom of the page, the RDP must print, sign, and date the form, and stamp the form with

their professional seal in the box provided.

2-5. The Owner or Owner’s agent must sign and date the front page after the SSI has been completed by

the RDP.

2-6. The Building Official must sign and date the form upon acceptance.

3. Page 2 – Schedule of Inspection and Testing Agencies:

3-1. The top of the page lists all of the categories of building systems with a box next to each. The RDP

must check the boxes for only the building systems that are going to be covered in this SSI. A

completed inspection program page must be attached for each building system that is checked off.

(See instruction #5 below.)

3-2. The chart below is where the members of the Special Inspection Program are listed. Their names,

addresses, telephone numbers, and emails should be filled out in the appropriate boxes. If the

Inspectors and Testing Agencies have not been determined yet, the RDP can fill in the boxes with “To

Be Determined”.

4. Page 3 – Quality Assurance Plan:

4-1. The RDP must review sections 1705 and 1706 in Chapter 17 of the IBC to determine if the project

requires a Quality Assurance Plan for the seismic force and wind force resisting systems and

components.

4-2. The RDP must indicate whether or not a Quality Assurance Plan is required by filling in the information

requested on the page. It is only necessary to provide descriptions of the seismic and wind force

resisting systems if it is determined that a Quality Assurance Plan is required.

5. Inspection Program Pages For Each Building System:

5-1. There is a page attached for each building system where the RDP identifies the inspection

requirements of each system. Fill out the pages for only the building systems included in this SSI. Do

not include blank pages for building systems not covered under this SSI.

5-2. Indicate the inspection or testing firm (Agency #) that will perform each inspection task. The Agency #

is the number listed next to the Inspector or Testing Laboratory on the chart on page 2 of the SSI.

5-3. Indicate the required qualifications of the Inspector for each inspection. A list of qualifications of

Inspectors and testing technicians is provided on page 4 of the SSI for reference. The RDP may

require additional qualifications beyond the ones listed if they feel it is appropriate. Suggested

qualifications have been included for consideration. The RDP must determine what qualifications are

appropriate for the particular project and confirm that the selected agency employs individuals with the

specified qualifications.

5-4. The scope of each inspection must be filled in by the RDP. The editable text provided in italics reflects

the code mandated minimum inspection requirements designated in section 1704 of IBC Chapter 17.

The editable text does not include the inspections requirements for seismic and wind resisting systems

listed in sections 1705 through 1708. The RDP must determine if the project falls under the

requirements of sections 1705 to 1708 and add the required inspections to the building systems. The

final scope of the inspections required for the project must be determined by the RDP.

5-5. Descriptions of all inspections must include the required frequency of each inspection or test.

AT: Building Permit Applicant

RE: Development and Construction within Special Flood Hazard Areas

Effective immediately, all applicants for development are hereby strongly advised that any proposed design for new

construction or, as appropriate, reconstruction should fully comply with standards for Flood Resistance in Flood Hazard

Areas, by using the “Best Information Available” to identify the boundaries of Special Flood Hazard Area(s).

Under advisement, both the Office of Building Construction & Code Enforcement and the Planning Department for the

City of Binghamton have determined that current, “Best Available Information”, or “BAI”, is provided by the Preliminary

FIRM Map (2010), which is available on the GIS website of the Broome County Department of Planning.

This advisory recommendation is being made with the understanding that current ordinance and codes reference the

officially adopted FIRM mapping as the compulsory standard for design and construction. Nevertheless, our

recommendation is consistent with and supported by verbal advisory from FEMA and NYSDEC. Policies and procedures

for development have been changed accordingly, as described below.

Going forward PHCD will be using the most current an

d available data in making flood plain development

and permitting determinations. This data set currently consists of the 2010 preliminary FEMA Flood

Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) that were submitted to Broome County local officials February 1, 2010, after

the 2006 flood and before the 2011 floods. According to the new maps, approximately 8,000 structures (for

the County) are located in the flood zone. The flood zone includes Floodway and Special Flood Hazard Area

(100 and 500 yr) and consequently, flood insurance for these owners will be required if the structures and

properties have a federally regulated mortgage. We are looking into when we can expect the NFIP rates to go

into effect for our community.

PHCD determination is based on data indicating that our levees do not meet federal requirements for flood

protection. Our floods and high water stages have increased over the years to within the freeboard

restriction, which is set at three feet above the Base Flood Elevation. BFE is the one-hundred year flood

level. This means that our levees no longer meet federal requirement. Structures and property behind our

levees are now considered to be in a SFHA and will be required (sic) to meet Flood Damage Prevention

requirements as outlined in Chapter 240 of our Code of Ordinances. This includes preparing and submitting

a Floodplain development application in addition to a Series A Site Plan review application. - Juliet Berling,

Director of Planning

Most urgently, this recommendation is based on legit

imate concern that a project that is not designed on BAI may result

in an adverse circumstance or outcome for the applicant, if or when new information is presented and adopted as the

prevailing FIRM. At this time, the effect or consequence of NOT using BAI are unknown; however, this Office has

received sufficient information to know that current Flood Hazard Area boundaries will change, in the future, and will

most likely be more extensive than current limits.

If you have further questions, please contact this office at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
