Additional Notes

Multiple Building Inspectors/Code Enforcement Officers are listed on the department page (Alfred Fusco III, Dan Dodd, Timothy Durland, Michael Predmore) without a single lead officer identified; Alfred Fusco III is listed first and used as the primary certificate-holder contact, but this is a hedge, not a confirmed sole authority. Residents are asked to call ahead for an appointment.

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 Chestnut Ridge'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.
