Reply to comment by akmalhot in Modular Portland Loo Toilets Will Be Tried in NYC Parks - THE CITY by space_______kat

I have a friend who bought in Forest Hills and its been a year and a half and still hasn't got his plans approved by the city for renovations... truly a wild amount of corruption everywhere.

Half of me grows to hate ny more and more..

The other half can't go back to suburban life.

It's like a terrible drug in ways...

Id definitely tell others who's careers are not accekerates or better by living in the tristate to never move here.

You can just say fuck it and do the renovations anyway. The Philly approach

I’m a professional engineer and depending on the work he is doing it could be self cert by a registered architect or professional engineer. Only downside is cost to retain us to do that, but it usually gets through permit in days.

So not all work can be self certified so it may fall under that. Alternatively, the special inspector may be giving him a hard time. Usually for the jobs we do we also inspect -as licensed engineers or architects it’s easy to get the special inspection credentials.

That super weird as he has an architect who made the plans. Basically, he’ll get an inspector from the city, they’ll come by and say these two things need fixing, he’ll fix them, they’ll send a new guy, different shit, repeat forever.
