The county seat, twenty-two miles from our Elmhurst shop. City filing handled, including the part that has to be notarized before it can be submitted.
The city's Building Department sits at 70 Church Street and can be reached at (914) 422-1269, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. It issues building, electrical and plumbing permits and handles inspections.
Two procedural details are worth knowing before you plan around a start date:
Alterations and renovations generally use the Building Department Short Form rather than the full application, and the same form covers HVAC, electrical and plumbing work.
The application has to be notarized, and applications are accepted between 9am and 1pm on business days, a narrower window than the department's own office hours. Arriving at 3pm with an un-notarized form means coming back another day, which is exactly the kind of small friction that quietly moves a start date by a week.
We handle the filing, notarization included, as part of the scope.
White Plains is one of the southern Westchester cities where the postwar suburban expansion left the deepest imprint. Cape Cods, split-levels and brick-veneer Colonials built from the 1950s through the 1970s make up much of the residential stock, alongside older neighborhoods and a substantial amount of apartment and condominium housing near the center.
For renovation work that splits the projects two ways. Single-family postwar houses are generally more predictable behind the wall and constrained by a compact original footprint. Apartments and condominiums bring a building's own rules into the picture, where the association or board governs alongside the city.
And we submit inside the morning window rather than discovering it at 2pm.
A postwar single-family and a downtown condominium are different projects with different rulebooks.

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 required on a licensed contractor's rear bumper.
Yes, because two sets of rules apply rather than one. The city permits the work, and your association or board governs what is permitted inside the unit and what documentation the building requires from your contractor: typically a certificate of insurance naming the building and managing agent. Send us your building's rules with the estimate request and we will tell you what is actually possible.
Largely postwar single-family. Cape Cods, split-levels and brick-veneer Colonials from the 1950s through the 1970s, alongside older neighborhoods and a substantial amount of apartment and condominium housing near the center. Postwar houses are more predictable behind the wall but tighter on original footprint; apartments bring the building's own rules into the scope.
Tell us which room and we will measure it, confirm the filing path, and give you a written price.
