If there was a sewer blockage, what permits are necessary?
Except in an emergency situation where imminent damages are apparent, and retroactive permit issuance is allowed for documented work with a telephone call, a plumbing permit is required on private property from the Building Department, and application for modifications to right-of-way may also be required at the Engineering Office, where sidewalk, curb, pavement or excavation occurs within right-of-way. For more information, please contact Engineering by phone at 973-593-3060.
