Code: DOB NOW: Inspections Plus (official violation code)
Description: (DOB NOW: Inspections Plus) is an NYC Department of Buildings online inspection-management module. It is currently used to request, manage, and track Electrical Development Inspections for applicable electrical filings. Authorized users, such as licensed professionals, property owners, filing representatives, and approved delegates, can use the system to request an inspection or reinspection, check inspection results, review objections, upload documents for eligible certifiable objections, manage delegates, and request certain inspection-related actions.
Practical Meaning: For a NYC homeowner with electrical work that requires a DOB development inspection, this is the online system your licensed electrician, filing representative, or another authorized representative may use to schedule and follow the inspection. A passed inspection can be necessary before the associated electrical filing can be completed or signed off. If DOB identifies an objection, the person handling the filing may need to correct the issue and use the system to manage the next step. All outstanding fees for applicable electrical filings must be paid when the inspection request is made.
Where You May See It: You may see “DOB NOW: Inspections Plus” on: A DOB NOW: Build electrical filing Inspection-request, confirmation, or status screens Messages or instructions from a licensed electrician or filing representative Inspection result or objection records DOB online training materials and electrical-filing guidance DOB notices about the transition of Electrical Development Inspections to the new module
Why It Matters: Using the right DOB NOW module matters because an electrical job may not reach final completion until required inspections are passed and applicable fees are paid. As of June 29, 2026, DOB directs users to request and manage Electrical Development Inspections through DOB NOW: Inspections Plus. Using the older DOB NOW: Inspections portal for the wrong electrical inspection type could delay the inspection process or create confusion about where to check the status.
