Sixteen miles from our Elmhurst shop. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements and whole-home renovations, with the city filing handled before demolition.
Building permits come from the city's Buildings Bureau at 515 North Avenue, reachable at (914) 654-2035. New Rochelle runs an online permit system, so applications and status are handled through the city portal rather than exclusively over a counter.
Permit approval is required for construction, alteration, addition and renovation work: the standard threshold, less expansive than the Village of Bronxville's but broader than many homeowners assume once plumbing or electrical is involved.
As everywhere in the county, there is no county-level building permit. The county licenses the contractor; the city permits the work. Ours is #WC-39446-H20-25, verifiable with the Westchester County Department of Consumer Protection at (914) 995-2155.
New Rochelle is one of the southern Westchester cities where the postwar build left the deepest mark. Cape Cods, split-levels and brick-veneer Colonials from the 1950s through the 1970s make up much of the stock, alongside older neighborhoods with early-twentieth-century houses closer to the water.
Practically, that means most projects here fall into one of two shapes. Postwar houses are more predictable behind the wall and usually constrained by a compact original footprint, so the work is replacement and reconfiguration within an existing envelope. Older homes bring plaster over lath, cast-iron waste lines and slower demolition.
We establish which you have at the estimate, because it changes both the scope and the schedule.

Which department, what they want, when they meet: a scope item, not a surprise mid-project.

From the city's Buildings Bureau at 515 North Avenue, reachable at (914) 654-2035, with applications handled through the city's online permit system. Permit approval is required for construction, alteration, addition and renovation work. There is no county-level building permit anywhere in Westchester. The county licenses contractors, and each of its 48 municipalities permits the work itself.
Yes. Kadima Construction holds Westchester County home improvement license #WC-39446-H20-25, which governs home improvement work throughout the county, and carries $1,000,000 in general liability insurance. Verify it with the Department of Consumer Protection at (914) 995-2155, or look for the green license sticker that licensed contractors are required to display on the rear bumper of their vehicles.
Largely postwar. Cape Cods, split-levels and brick-veneer Colonials built from the 1950s through the 1970s, with older early-twentieth-century neighborhoods nearer the water. Postwar houses are generally more predictable behind the wall but tighter on original footprint, while the older stock brings plaster over lath and cast-iron plumbing that slows demolition and reveals more.
The city's review window sits ahead of the build, and material lead times often decide the finish date more than construction does. Custom cabinetry alone commonly runs eight to twelve weeks. We establish both at the estimate and build the schedule around them rather than discovering them mid-project. We confirm the Buildings Bureau's current review window with the city before committing to a completion date.
