Hello,
I'm in a process of purchasing a Co-op apartment in Manhattan and looking for some advice because the apartment requires an entire gut renovation. This is my first time purchasing a Co-op and in Manhattan. I'm not sure what building department regulations are but the Coop board is supposed to be pretty open to any work done, hence they even allow washer and dryer in the apartment. So I'm looking to find out if I must have permits to work on the premises and/or anything else I need to be aware of? Do I need an architect to doing any type of drawing of the apartment etc.? Hopefully we have someone who's in the business and is in NYC who can give me some advice.
Thanks in advance!
Frankie
