Room Additions in The Bronx
In the Bronx, room additions concern house owners: 22% of owner-occupied homes are detached houses and 5% of units are attached houses, in neighborhoods with house lots, while apartment owners cannot add floor area. A rear extension, dormer or second floor starts with zoning, the existing structure and a Department of Buildings filing. Goodhaus connects owners with independent contractors at no charge and does not perform the work itself.

Rear extension or dormer
Both depend on the lot's zoning and the existing structure; check them with an architect or engineer before design.
File before building
In New York City, construction without Department of Buildings approval or permits is illegal, and the work must be legalized or removed.
Licensed contractor
New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor licence from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection for residential remodeling work.
Costs
How much does a room addition cost in The Bronx?
Bronx addition quotes depend on structure, foundation, the roof tie-in, site access, the engineer's or architect's New York City filing and the trades required.

Questions
Room Additions in The Bronx: FAQs
When can construction happen?
New York City noise rules allow construction from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, with limited weekend hours for owner-occupied one- and two-family homes.
Do flood rules matter near the water?
They can: if the lot is in a mapped flood hazard area, an improvement costing 50 percent or more of the structure's market value is a substantial improvement under the federal flood rules.
