Gennaro asks DOB about financial barriers and solar permit fees
Gennaro asks if buildings face financial barriers due to permitting costs. Wendy Wan explains the $250 crane permit is separate from solar panel filing fees, which vary by system size and power output.
Do these permits require an engineer or other type of professional to submit the application?
So there's the cost to the agency and then to the engineer to figure out what the application.
So do you need to?
You know, engage an engineer in order to fill out the application and submit it?
So again, speaking about crane permits generally, regardless of the actual use, I mean, I know the focus is for solar panels, but again, we don't really put how they're going to use it.
As like a data point that we collect.
So I can't really say how many cranes that require permits or construction equipment that requires a permit is related to solar panels.
Sorry.
Yeah, but just, you know, generally speaking.
Oh, sorry.
I remembered your original question is to, yes, an engineer is required for a credit permit.
Would an engineer have to be engaged in order to properly prepare the application to give to the agency?
Yes.
Okay.
Sorry.
I got that.
