NYC DOB Cancels January 16, 2024, Buildings After Hours Due to Inclement Weather
The New York City Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) has announced the cancellation of its Buildings After Hours program for Tuesday, January 16, 2024, due to poor weather conditions. The program, which typically offers extended access to NYC DOB borough offices for residents, small business owners, and building managers, will resume on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, following the standard schedule.
The Buildings After Hours program is held on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and is a key service for individuals who cannot visit DOB offices during standard working hours. By extending operating hours, NYC DOB provides homeowners, tenants, and small business owners with the opportunity to address various property and building concerns, obtain permits, seek guidance on compliance issues, and resolve other DOB-related inquiries in a direct, in-person setting. This service is especially helpful for residents with demanding schedules who would otherwise face challenges in addressing their building-related needs.
While January 16 is marked by a temporary cancellation, NYC DOB has assured that the program will resume in February. Those who rely on Buildings After Hours for assistance should mark their calendars for the next session on Tuesday, February 6, 2024. NYC DOB encourages individuals to check the December 2023 Service Notice for a complete schedule of dates in 2024. By reviewing these dates in advance, participants can avoid potential scheduling conflicts and ensure they can receive the help they need.
For those unable to attend in person, NYC DOB also provides several online resources, allowing individuals to access vital information about regulations, safety requirements, and permit applications. Updated details and resources on Buildings After Hours, as well as other NYC DOB events and services, can be found on the department’s official events page at nyc.gov/dobevents. This page contains the most current information on upcoming events and adjustments, helping residents stay informed of any changes.
The cancellation underscores NYC DOB’s commitment to public safety and employee well-being, emphasizing the department’s flexibility in responding to changing weather conditions. Those with immediate questions or urgent concerns are encouraged to explore the various resources on the NYC DOB website, which includes helpful guides, FAQ sections, and contact options for support.
