White Plains Permits: Church Street, Short Forms and Landmarks
White Plains is a city, so permits come from the City’s Department of Building at 70 Church Street (914-422-1269), not from a town hall. Besides the New York State codes, the department enforces the city’s own White Plains Supplemental Building Code and Zoning Ordinance, so the rules here aren’t always the same as in the towns around it.
The City sorts projects by whether they add volume. Renovations that add no volume go in on the Building Short Form, and additions that do add volume use the Long Form. Applications are notarized and are accepted between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on business days, so we plan filings around those hours.
Some White Plains houses carry extra review. The Historic Preservation Commission reviews alterations to designated landmarks and properties in historic districts, and meets the second Wednesday of the month at 7 PM in the Common Council Chamber. Its landmark list includes the c.1892 Shingle-style home at 7 Cromwell Place where Percy Grainger lived and the c.1916 Dutch Revival home at 29 Woodland Place associated with Yasuo Matsui.
Your Guardian project manager confirms the right form, prepares the drawings and files our Westchester County Home Improvement License #WC-38383-H24 with each application. Licensed, insured subcontractors supervised by a Guardian project manager handle electrical and plumbing.
