Steps
Fetch NYC DOB's current 'Erecting Tower Cranes: Required Protocol for Third-Party Certifications' PDF and the CN Application step-by-step guide from nyc.gov
Confirm the Engineer of Record (EOR) must submit third-party certification letters, reports, and documentation before DOB's Cranes and Derricks Unit reviews the CN application
Note certification letters must reference CN approval number, Crane Device (CD) number, crane serial number, model number, and project location
Confirm the inspection scope required: complete inspection and non-destructive testing of structural, mechanical, electrical, and control components
Confirm applications are queued and reviewed in the order received only once all required items are submitted — build filing lead time into the inspection company's schedule
Contact DOB's Cranes & Derricks Unit directly to confirm current filing procedure, since DOB NOW: Build system steps can change
Known gotchas
This is a NYC-specific third-party inspection/filing regime layered on top of federal OSHA and ASME requirements — it does not substitute for either
Filing procedures run through the DOB NOW: Build online system, which has been updated over time — verify the current step-by-step guide rather than relying on a cached version
