Citiscape: NYC DOB Alerts

November 1, 2023

Bug fixes and application improvements

August 6, 2022

The latest update features the Certificate of Occupancy tracker. Filing for the COO has become a hassle of 3 to 4 steps instead of the original 1-step process. Now your application goes through a Project advocate review, then the Borough commissioner review, followed by someone checking for spelling mistakes, and only then does your certificate gets issued. The COO tracker incorporated into Citiscape App will allow you to know the exact status at any given moment as it updates. Aside from the COO tracker, now the user will have access to DOB and BIS paperwork related to the project, stored in your account. This will be the last DOB-related update to the App. The Citiscape App will begin incorporating other 7 city agencies, such as HPD, FDNY, and DOH in the near future to make this app a complete toolbox for your construction project needs.

After a vast and extremely detailed user experience testing, the Citiscape team is proud to announce a brand new interface for the Citiscape App! Now slick, simple to navigate, and absolutely amazing when it comes to real-time project management, DOB alerts, team communication, and overall work progress. Running multiple construction projects, home renovations, or simply trying to avoid violations. Citiscape team has managed to come up with yet another unique idea: CitiWatch! Construction and real estate Industry-specific community crowdsourced and reporting platform that provides people with real-time alerts on things like random DOB inspections, or drive-by inspections. Next time you see the blue or white Toyota Prius driving around, with the Department of buildings logo, hit on Citi-Watch and notify your colleagues within a 1-mile radius allowing them a chance to respond as well as provide feedback and even share photos giving other teams ample amount of time to prepare. Citiscape App is there to handle it all!
