Commercial Electrical Permit Remediation – Daven Electric Corp.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is commercial electrical permit remediation?

  Commercial electrical permit remediation is the process of resolving electrical permit issues on commercial or industrial properties. As a trusted commercial electrical contractor, we help businesses correct violations, complete unfinished work, and bring all electrical systems up to code.

  It usually involves:

  • Reviewing existing electrical permits (or lack thereof)
  • Identifying any violations per National Electrical Code (NEC) standards
  • Creating and executing a correction plan
  • Managing new permit applications if needed
  • Coordinating with building inspectors and local departments

  At Daven Electric Corp., our commercial electricians work directly with property managers, general contractors, and business owners to ensure the entire remediation process is handled from start to finish. Whether the problem is outdated work or unapproved modifications, we’ll help you resolve it the right way. Our goal is to make sure your property is safe, code-compliant, and ready for inspection approval.

• Why do I need commercial electrical permit remediation?

  If you’re a business owner, building manager, or developer, having unresolved permit issues can lead to costly setbacks. As a commercial electrical contractor, we’ve seen how even minor violations can snowball into serious legal and financial problems.

  Here’s why you may need commercial electrical permit remediation:

  • You’ve received a violation notice or stop-work order.
  • Electrical work was completed without the proper permits.
  • Your last inspection didn’t pass due to code violations.
  • You’re preparing a property for sale or lease and need to close open permits.
  • Your insurance requires documentation of compliance.

  Our licensed commercial electricians handle everything from permit audits to full compliance corrections. We work with local building departments, follow NEC and ICC guidelines, and help protect your investment. If you’re unsure whether your property is up to code, we’re happy to take a look and guide you through the next steps.

• What are the potential consequences of not having proper electrical permits?

  Skipping or ignoring electrical permits can lead to serious consequences—especially for commercial properties. As an experienced commercial electrical contractor, Daven Electric Corp. has helped clients avoid or resolve problems like:

  • Fines or penalties from local building departments
  • Failed inspections or construction delays
  • Insurance claim denials due to non-compliance
  • Legal liability in case of fire or injury
  • Difficulty selling or refinancing property

  Without permits, you also run the risk of having to redo electrical work at your own cost. That’s why working with a qualified commercial electrician who understands both the work and the permitting process is so important. We help with electrical code enforcement, permit application reviews, and compliance consulting, so you’re never left guessing.

  Don’t take chances—make sure your building is protected and up to code from the start.

• Can you help with electrical permits that were never obtained in the first place?

  Yes, absolutely. Unpermitted electrical work is one of the most common problems we solve as a commercial electrical contractor. Whether a previous contractor skipped the paperwork or your build-out moved faster than expected, our commercial electricians can step in and fix it.

  Here’s how we help:

  • Step 1: We assess the existing work against NEC and ICC standards.
  • Step 2: We prepare a plan for electrical compliance remediation.
  • Step 3: We submit the proper paperwork to the local building department.
  • Step 4: Our team performs any necessary corrections or upgrades.
  • Step 5: We schedule and attend final inspections for approval.

  We’ve handled remediation for office spaces, retail stores, industrial facilities, and more across Brooklyn and NYC. You’re not alone—we can help you sort those missing permits quickly without disrupting your business operations more than necessary.

• How long does the electrical permit remediation process typically take?

  The timeline depends on the complexity of the violations and how quickly the local building department processes paperwork. However, our team of commercial electricians and permit specialists works hard to keep things moving smoothly.

  Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Initial assessment & violation report: 1–2 business days
  • Remediation plan & permit filing: 3–5 business days
  • Corrective work: Varies (a few days to a few weeks)
  • Inspections & approvals: 1–2 weeks (depending on department scheduling)

  As a licensed commercial electrical contractor, we keep you updated throughout the process. We also offer emergency services when there’s a tight deadline or a critical violation to address.

  Our goal is always the same: to resolve your electrical permit issues quickly, safely, and with minimal impact on your business. We’ll manage everything, so you can focus on running your operations with confidence.
