New York has some of the most complex building permit requirements in the country. NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) submissions have specific formatting, filing, and code compliance requirements that differ significantly from the rest of the state — which makes working with an engineer who's familiar with the process worth it.
NEC Solutions LLC holds a New York State PE license and provides structural engineering services in New York for property owners, contractors, and architects across New York City — including Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx — as well as Long Island and upstate NY.
NYC DOB Permit Drawings
We prepare PE-stamped structural drawings for NYC Department of Buildings submissions. Our drawings follow NYC Building Code requirements and are formatted for DOB eFiling, and we work with contractors and architects across all five boroughs. NYC uses its own Building Code — based on the IBC but with significant NYC-specific amendments — so submissions have to comply with the current NYC Building Code edition, not just a generic national code.
Long Island & Upstate New York
Outside NYC, New York follows the New York State Building Code (also based on the IBC), with any applicable local amendments. We know Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County building departments, and prepare drawings that match what local plan reviewers expect — covering:
Structural Inspections in New York
We provide PE-stamped structural inspection reports for home buyers, lenders, and attorneys in the NYC metro area and Long Island. Reports are accepted by NY banks, insurance companies, and legal proceedings — useful when buying or selling a property, investigating cracks or foundation concerns, or documenting damage.
Solar Structural Engineering in New York
We provide structural letters and PE-stamped drawings for solar installations across New York State. These are accepted by Con Edison, PSEG Long Island, and other NY utilities for interconnection approval, and most letters are delivered in 3–5 business days.
Commercial Structural Engineering in NYC
Tenant improvements, mezzanines, structural modifications, and commercial renovations in New York City and the surrounding area often involve more detailed engineering and coordination between owners, architects, and contractors. We provide full DOB-ready drawing packages for commercial projects.
New York Code & Engineering Considerations
Structural calculations for New York projects account for New York snow loads — significant for upstate projects — as well as wind and seismic requirements per ASCE 7, applied to each project's specific location. NYC requires a specific drawing format, calculations, and Professional Engineer or Registered Architect sign-off for structural work; our PE-stamped documents are prepared to meet NYC DOB requirements for eFiling.
