DOB NOW Filing Review Checklist
By DOB Desk · MoLabs LLC · Updated
A DOB NOW filing review checklist helps the filing team compare the application, drawings, costs, technical reports, attachments, and party responsibilities before an authorized action. It should identify the responsible role for each item and keep internal task status separate from the official DOB NOW status.
What it means
The checklist is a coordination tool. It does not replace DOB instructions, professional review, or official system status.
Each row should have a role, source, evidence link, and current state. Ambiguous ownership causes missed handoffs because several people may assume another party completed the action.
Where mistakes show up
Common review gaps include mismatched scope language, stale drawing revisions, copied inspection selections, unresolved cost changes, and missing supporting documents.
The filing representative should preserve unresolved questions rather than silently filling gaps. A marked question is easier to review than a confident assumption.
Checklist
Use this as an internal review format before a submission, resubmission, or permit-stage handoff.
- Property identifiers match the current source record.
- The filing description matches the drawing set and scope summary.
- Party roles match the people taking official actions.
- Cost information reflects the reviewed scope and source estimate.
- Technical reports and inspections are assigned to responsible parties.
- Attachments are current and connected to the correct filing.
- Internal completion status is not confused with official DOB NOW status.
Questions and answers
Can DOB Desk complete the official filing review for the team?
No. DOB Desk can organize review tasks and supported data. Authorized parties still review the filing and complete their own required official actions.
