- For
- Brooklyn homeowners considering rooftop construction
- Worth noticing
- The page names six Brooklyn neighborhoods and says approved plans belong to the homeowner; later architect and contractor fees are paid directly to those providers.
Field notes
The page names six Brooklyn neighborhoods, including Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Crown Heights, and Bedford-Stuyvesant, and describes block-level checks based on city building records. Its proposed sequence separates an initial homeowner-facing render and automated screening from architect- and engineer-stamped drawings and contractor bids. It says owners retain approved plans; later fees go directly to architects and contractors, while the site says contractors pay it after signing.
