There is a Crosstown Office on site that is open everyday I believe and I usually go visit every so often and ask for updates directly from the vendor.
I went to the City's Building Permit Status site and noticed that the examination status of all the applications for "New Houses" have changed from "Open" to "Refusal Notice". Out of curiosity, I emailed the examiner listed and inquired what that meant and if it was a big deal. She responded that application isn't refused, but a requirement for revisions or additional information is outstanding. Nice of her to respond and clarify.
