Code: PW2 (official form)
Description: Work Permit Application (PW2). The DOB form used to request a work permit after a job application is approved.
Practical Meaning: For NYC homeowners, PW2 is the permit form that must be filed before certain construction or alteration work can begin. It is usually used after the job filing is approved and before the permit is issued.
Where You May See It: You may see PW2 in DOB NOW: Build, permit applications, job filings, and permit-related document packages.
Why It Matters: It matters because without a properly filed PW2, the work permit may not be issued and the project may be delayed. DOB also uses the form to check that the work is described correctly and that required statements are included.
