Thomas-Henry details how inspections and plan reviews happen at different times in a specific sequence unknown to many entrepreneurs, notes that SBS NYC Best Team provides compliance assistance but the coordination issue remains unresolved, and frames Int. 955A as fixing the underlying inefficiency.

Before a new business can open, the site must undergo a series of inspections and plan reviews that often happen at different times.

There is often a specific sequence for when each of these inspections and reviews need to be done.

While SBS NYC Best Team does provide much-needed compliance assistance, the issue of uncoordinated inspections and plan reviews remain unresolved.

Proposed Introduction 955A is an attempt to fix the underlying issue at the heart of all this.

Ensuring that these inspections and reviews happen around the same time or shortly thereafter means that our entrepreneurs are not losing out due to government inefficiency.
