Get Ready for the FDNY Business Portal
By Penny Laughlin
During the next few months, the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) will launch its new online business portal, FDNY Business. As mentioned in our April 2018 article, the platform will work very much like DOB NOW.
FDNY Business will allow customers to manage the business activities currently online through the NYC Business portal. In addition, FDNY customers will be able to manage plan review applications and inspection/test requests, as well as violations and payments.
Users can expect to see the following activities online by the end of the project’s first phase, scheduled for rollout during the first six months of 2019.
