Fontan Architecture is a full service architecture firm located in New York. Among the different projects we work on we do apartment combinations in NYC. If you are interested in combining apartments we would be happy to hear from you and see if we can help.

NYC Co-Op & Condo Apartment Combinations

 

All apartment combinations must be filed with the NYC Department Of Buildings (DOB). Condo Apartment Combinations must also be filed with the Department Of Finance (DOF). We handle the entire process from design to filling and sign offs.

Apartment Combination Laws

 

Most Apartment Combinations can be filed as an Alteration Type 2 and do not require a new Certificate Of Occupancy.

The Department of Buildings has issued a Technical Procedure and Policy Notes outlining the requirements for filling an apartment combination as an Alt 2. These requirements are found in TPPN 3/97.

Condo and Co-Op combinations are the same with the exception that Condominium apartment Combinations require filing with the Department Of Finance. DOF requires an Rp602CA to be filed. This is the Condominium Declaration Amendment.
