Code: DOB NOW: Training (DOB online training resources)
Description: (DOB NOW Training) is the NYC Department of Buildings’ free training sessions, webinars, presentations, guides, and support materials for using DOB NOW online services. The materials explain topics such as job filings, permits, inspections, certificates of correction, compliance filings, and other DOB NOW processes.
Practical Meaning: For a NYC homeowner, these resources can help you understand the DOB NOW steps being handled for your property, even if a contractor, licensed professional, or filing representative does the actual filing. They can help you check what may be needed for permits, inspections, certificates of correction, compliance filings, and project closeout.
Where You May See It: You may see DOB NOW: Training on the DOB website, in DOB NOW help pages, in webinar or presentation links, in guidance sent by a contractor or design professional, or when looking for instructions about a DOB NOW: Build, Safety, Inspections, Inspections Plus, or Licensing process. DOB also provides owner-and-manager training that covers tenant protection plans, inspections, certificates of correction, compliance filings, and violation payments.
Why It Matters: Training materials can help you ask informed questions and understand why a DOB filing, inspection, correction, payment, or sign-off is still pending. The training itself does not obtain a permit, schedule an inspection, correct a violation, or replace work by a required licensed professional.
