Do I need a permit for pavers, driveway, or hardscape in Village of Ossining?
It depends. Whether pavers, driveway, or hardscape needs a permit in Village of Ossining comes down to the details of your project.
New York's list of work a local program may exempt (19 NYCRR 1203.3(a)(1)) does not mention patios, walkways, or driveways; whether flatwork on grade needs a building permit, and any driveway, curb cut, grading, or stormwater approval, is decided locally. A retaining wall in the project that is not laterally supported at the top and holds back more than 48 inches of unbalanced fill, or is over 24 inches tall and resists other lateral loads, must be engineered (RCNYS R404.4).
