It’s not just this, it’s everything. The city requires a permit for almost everything but most take an actual eternity to process. I’ve had permit requests sit for MONTHS before anyone got back to me, for something so simple that would take me a half-day to do. I mean if NYC wants tax money, I would imagine they should be processing permits a lot faster, so people can start buying and start paying the taxes.
