Summary: Program Permit requirements
Contact with Questions: Matthew Houle

Starting October 1st all projects with Electrical Panel Installations or electrical wiring upgrades must have a permit submitted with the project, if a permit is required by the local code office. If an inspection will be done after final project submission, a note should be added to the project indicating when the expected inspection will occur. After the inspection occurs, a photograph of the inspection sticker should be added to the project.

All other projects that require permits will need to have the permits added to the project document page in NYHEP after November 1.

The Participation Agreement that all contractors have signed to participate in NYSERDA Home Modernization programs requires contractors to follow all requirements of the local code office at all times, regardless of the dates required for permit uploads to NYHEP.
