Job Description

The NYC Board of Standards and Appeals is a critical component of the City’s comprehensive system for regulation of land use, development and construction. The Board is an independent, administrative review body, with the power to grant relief to land owners whose property is deemed unduly restricted by the City’s zoning resolution and building code. Such authority allows the Board to make important decisions that affect development throughout all five boroughs.

The Board’s mandate includes providing expert review of zoning variance and special permit applications; appeals to determinations made by the Department of Buildings and Fire Department based on legal doctrine; revocations or modifications of certificates of occupancy; and waivers from other laws, including the Multiple Dwelling Law and the General City Law.

Responsibilities:

The Planner 1 will be involved in a wide range of development proposals throughout the City that encompass complex zoning, environmental, financial, real estate, neighborhood character, and urban design issues. Under supervision, the Planner I will:

- Project manage applications for variances and special permits and coordinate with applicants, Board staff, other city agencies, community boards and the public;
- Analyze environmental review documents to determine compliance with City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR);
- Interface with other agencies on the review of technical documents including transportation, air-quality, noise, hazardous materials, historic resources etc.;
- Provide and obtain technical information and assist applicants in the preparation of required documents;
- Conduct land use, finance and real estate research and analysis, and prepare written and graphic information as requested by the Board Chair.
- Represent the Board at meetings of civic and community groups, community boards, and public agencies;
- Perform other related tasks.
