About Us

Permit Architects is a division of Cheung Showman Architects, a New York City–based firm, specializing in helping homeowners navigate co-op, condo, and NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) permit approvals for small residential renovations. Our mission is to make the renovation process as simple and streamlined as possible—for both our clients and our team.

• Client Interaction: Serve as the point of contact for clients, guiding them through building management and DOB processes.
• Code & Zoning Research: Provide clear, technically sound responses to code-related questions. Familiarity with NYC Building Code is a plus.
• Team Coordination: Redline drawings and delegate tasks to drafters, junior architects, and administrative support staff.
• Technical Review: Address objections from building review architects and DOB examiners.
• Optional Site Visits: Conduct inspections if located in NYC.

Requirements

• Degree in Architecture
• 10+ years of professional architecture experience (NYC experience a strong plus)
• Strong knowledge of building/zoning codes and renovation permitting
• Work Samples of DOB or permit-related drawing sets
• Proven ability to manage multiple project schedules simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

What We Offer
