a. First building permit. For purposes of these rules, the first building permit is the permit that would allow the construction work that is the subject of the ICAP application to proceed, even though: (i) such permit was granted before submission of completed plans and specifications for the entire building; or (ii) such permit shall have expired by limitation of time or otherwise become invalid; or (iii) another permit is issued for the same project on the basis of same or similar plans, subject to the provisions of 19 RCNY § 36-05(a). b. A subsequent building permit will be deemed to be the first building permit for a building where the project for which a preliminary application is made is a new project pursuant to 19 RCNY § 36-05(a) or the previous project has been deemed abandoned pursuant to 19 RCNY § 36-05(b). c. A demolition permit will not be considered to be a first building permit, except as set forth in 19 RCNY § 36-06(d). (Added City Record 2/10/2017, eff. 3/12/2017)
