If an applicant is unsure about whether a Construction Code Permit is required, the City of Hoboken is available to help with the determination. A permit is needed for any new construction work, additions to structures, renovations or alterations affecting changes of use or egress. Permits are also needed for maintenance items such as sid-ing, roofing, window replacement where opening size is changed, and replacement of decks and balconies. A Construction Code Permit application needs to be submitted for each of the Subcode technical sections which pertain to the work along with three copies of construction plans for the work. The Subcode technical sections include Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire, and Elevator. To learn more, please visit
