Code: PW7 (official form)
Description: (PW7 Letter of Completion Request Form) is a NYC DOB form used to tell the Department of Buildings that certain permitted construction work is finished and ready for final review. It is mainly used to request a Letter of Completion for eligible jobs.
Practical Meaning: For a NYC homeowner, PW7 is usually the form your contractor or design professional files when a permitted job is finished so DOB can review it and issue a Letter of Completion. It is a standard part of the job closeout process for many types of work, such as fences, scaffolds, mechanical and plumbing systems, sprinklers, boilers, signs, curb cuts, and structural changes.
Where You May See It: On DOB job closeout paperwork, in eFiling, DOB NOW, BIS records, or instructions for getting a Letter of Completion.
Why It Matters: Without PW7, a job may stay open in DOB records, which can delay final sign-off, completion documents, or future property transactions.
