TR-1 Technical Report Form shall be filed to demonstrate compliance for all inspections/tests required for a DOB job application, in accordance with the New York City Building Codes of 1968 and 2008. There are two TR-1 forms: the TR-1 Form (Old Code) and the TR-1 Form (New Code).
TR-1 Form (Old Code): Technical Report Statement of Responsibility First Page
TR-1 Form (Old Code): Technical Report Statement of Responsibility Second Page
TR-1 Form (Old Code) is used when a DOB application is filed and approved prior to June 30, 2008.
How to know a DOB application is filed prior to June 30, 2008; hence, the use of the old TR-1 form?
Go to BIS Building Information Search.
On number 9 Application Searches box, type or copy & paste the DOB number of an already filed application.
Once you are already on the main page of the Application Details, just above the number 1 Location Information (Filed At) title box are the statuses of the application.
This DOB application is filed on April 24, 2006 and approved on March 9, 2007. If, as to date, the application has not been signed off yet, and there is a need to use a TR-1, use the old TR-1 form, because all applications filed and approved prior to June 30, 2008 must use the old TR-1 form.
How to use the TR-1 (Old Code) Form?
Fill in the house number, street name and the floors worked on.
On number 1 Location Information (Filed At) box at the Application Details, look for the House Number, Street Name, and the Work on Floor(s), copy and paste the information to the blank boxes of the number 1 Location Information at the TR-1 form.
The design applicant must identify the inspections and/or tests necessary prior to job approval.
The director of the Special Inspection Agency and/or Approved Agency
must submit to identify responsibility for performing Special
inspections prior to permit issuance.
