Interior renovation permits, schedules, and elevator fees (Renovation Permits & Work Rules)

Remodeling an interior also has rules: prior permit, refundable deposit, strict schedules for contractors, reserved use of the freight elevator, and "supervision" fees. Many owners discover this halfway through the project, when management stops the contractor at the door. It is a frequent conflict in high-rise buildings. Orderly resolutions start with completing the paperwork from the beginning, demanding a breakdown of any fees, and documenting the condition of common areas before and after to recover the full deposit. On this page (free), we offer general guidance on these procedures. As a member of Mi Junta ($29 per month, covers all categories), you receive help preparing the permit package, challenging non-itemized fees, claiming the return of deposits, links to applicable regulations, and support throughout the entire project.
