STEP 04 / 06

Review your information & sign

Your building information should already appear. Review the filing, then select Statements & Signatures in the left-hand menu.

Statements & Signatures→Attestation of Building Owner

Scroll to Attestation of Building Owner. Read the statement carefully. If the information is correct and you agree, personally check the owner’s attestation box in DOB NOW. Your name and date should fill in automatically.

This is your electronic signature. The checkbox in DOB NOW signs the filing. The checklist below only tracks your progress in this guide.

STEP 05 / 06

Save, then pay to file

Select Save near the top of the filing. Then select Pay to File and follow the payment instructions in DOB NOW.

Save→Pay to File→Complete NYC payment

Review the amount and payment details displayed in the NYC portal before completing payment. Keep the receipt or payment reference.

Saving alone does not finish the filing. AGP’s walkthrough indicates that completing the Pay to File process submits it. Continue to the next step to check the result.

Confirm your filing went through

Check DOB NOW for the submission confirmation and your filing’s updated status. Keep a copy of the filing confirmation along with your payment receipt.

Submission confirmation+Payment receipt

If the filing still shows Pre-filing, payment still shows Due, or you receive an error, contact A Good Plumber for help before assuming it is complete.

These checkmarks are a personal checklist. They do not verify NYC records, submit a filing or notify A Good Plumber.

A little help along the way

I don’t see my property or filing.

Confirm you are signed in with the email associated with your filing. If it is still missing, contact A Good Plumber so we can help you find the correct record.

My name or building details are incorrect.

Pause before signing and contact A Good Plumber. Review corrected information in DOB NOW before completing your attestation.

Payment failed or there is no confirmation.

Check the payment result and receipt before trying again. If you are unsure whether you were charged or the filing was submitted, contact A Good Plumber for help.
