NYC Owner Representation
Someone On Your Side From Filing to Sign-Off.
Your architect designs it. Your contractor builds it. Neither one is paid to watch your scope, budget and schedule against the city’s process. All Boro Expediter represents the owner, managing the applications and violations on your project so the decisions stay yours.

The Real Cost
What Happens When Nobody Represents the Owner
Scope Drifts
Work gets added or changed without a matching filing. The job on the DOB record stops describing the job being built, and that gap turns into violations or a sign-off problem later.
Budget Leaks
Objections, refilings and penalties are billed as they come. Without one person tracking them against the budget, the owner sees the total only when it is too late to change course.
Schedule Slips
Each agency runs on its own timeline. A filing that waits on another filing stalls the whole project, and contractors, lenders and buyers all wait with it.
Loose Ends at Closing
Open applications, unsigned-off permits and old violations surface in the title search. Closing them after the fact takes longer and costs more than closing them on the way.
How It Works
How We Represent the Owner
One point of contact for every filing and violation on your project.
Job Analysis
We identify the permits, filings and timeline your project requires, and pull the property’s open applications and violations before anything is filed.
Scope, Budget and Schedule
We set out what has to be filed, in what order, and what it depends on, so you know where the project stands against the plan at every stage.
Applications and Violations
We handle the filings and corrections across DOB, HPD, DOT, ECB and FDNY, including withdrawing old applications and reinstating old jobs where that is the faster route.
Through to Sign-Off
We stay on the project until the work is signed off and the record is clean, so nothing is left open for the next buyer, lender or title search to find.

Common Questions
NYC Owner Representation FAQ
Still have a question? Ask us directly. We answer the same day.
What does an owner's representative do?
An owner’s representative protects the owner’s interest on a project, managing scope, budget and schedule from start to finish. At All Boro Expediter that means the city side: the applications, filings and violations that decide whether a project moves and whether it closes clean.
How is this different from hiring an expediter?
An expediter moves a specific filing through an agency. Owner representation covers the whole project, deciding what needs to be filed, in what order, and keeping it tied to your budget and schedule until sign-off.
Do I still need an architect and a contractor?
Yes. Your architect handles design and compliance documents, and your contractor builds. We represent you across both on the agency side, so there is one person watching the record for the owner.
Can you take over a project that's already underway?
Yes, after a review. We look at where the project stands and what is already open on the record before we take it on.
How is owner representation priced?
Owner representation is billed as a flat monthly fee, so you know the cost up front. Call us to talk through your project.
