Filing Watch demo: a priority filing changed from Objections to Approved, with a dated DOB NOW record, a note, and a follow-up to call the applicant.

Less checking. Clearer next steps.

Catch the change.

Monitor supported filings. Get updates at your chosen email—even if it isn’t on the DOB filing.

Keep the record.

Access saved filing information and available city records during DOB outages, with sources and retrieval dates.

Know what’s next.

Flag priorities, keep notes, and set dated follow-ups beside the filings you handle.

DOB NOW may take a break. Your notes shouldn’t have to.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add supported NYC job filings.

  2. 02

    Choose your notification email.

  3. 03

    Return to changes, notes, and follow-ups.

Saved does not mean live. During DOB outages, saved information and available city records remain accessible while Filing Watch is available. Live checks may pause; sources and retrieval dates show what was checked, and when.

A FEW PRACTICAL DETAILS

Before you take a look.

Which filings—and whose work—is this for?

Supported DOB NOW: Build job filings across NYC’s five boroughs. Built for filing representatives and expediters; also useful to construction managers, owners’ representatives, and developers managing approval, permits, and sign-off. Coverage varies by filing and source.

How fresh is the information?

NYC Open Data is delayed; live DOB NOW checks depend on settings and source availability. Saved records show their source and retrieval date. A source-record update date may differ from a status-change date. Confirm critical decisions with official DOB records.

Can updates go to an email that isn’t on the DOB filing?

Yes. Choose your notification email in Filing Watch. Updates depend on your settings, source availability, and mail delivery; they aren’t instant or guaranteed.

Is Filing Watch part of NYC DOB?

No. Filing Watch is independent of, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by, NYC DOB. It helps you manage filings and follow-up work; it does not issue approvals or permits.
