Additional Notes

Uncertain/hedged: the Village's current Village Officials page lists Richard Briscoe as Code Enforcement Officer, but the same domain also hosts an older page titled 'From the Desk of Tomi Tompkins, Code Enforcement Officer & Building Inspector' — Tompkins appears to actually be affiliated with the TOWN of Stamford (an email of buildinginspector@townofstamfordny.us was found for her), suggesting that page may be outdated or mislabeled on the Village site. Direct email for Briscoe is Cloudflare-obfuscated and could not be captured. General Village Hall line: (607) 652-6671, 84 Main Street, Stamford, NY 12167.

What You Need Before Applying for a Permit

Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Village of Stamford's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.

Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
