A permit application landed this week for 2211 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn, according to filings first reported by New York YIMBY.
If you're a Flatbush-area sub or GC, this is the kind of filing worth tracking before it ever hits a bid portal — DOB permit filings are the earliest public signal that a site is moving from paper to procurement.
The filing itself doesn't carry scope, trade breakdown, or a construction manager yet — that detail typically surfaces in a later New Building or Alteration application, or when the owner starts soliciting GCs directly.
For now, the record is the permit filing index at the Department of Buildings, searchable by address under the DOB NOW: Build portal.
No bid has been posted and no contractor is named. What you can do now: flag the BIN (building identification number) at this address in DOB NOW and set an alert, so you see the next filing — the one that usually names a GC — before your competitors do.
M/WBE relevance: none yet determined; that typically attaches once a GC is named and the project reaches city-funded or city-regulated thresholds, if applicable.
