Don’t let a missing fence permit stall your work. We handle the full §3307.7 filing, EQ designator, and DOT sign-offs so your site is legally enclosed and inspection-ready with same-day deployment across all five boroughs.
NYC site security starts with a code-compliant perimeter. Under Building Code §3307.7, your site must be fully enclosed before any demolition or excavation begins. We handle everything from the initial DOB NOW filing and EQ designator submission to the physical installation and final permit close-out. We don’t just drop off panels. We manage the filing chain so your site stays compliant and your work permit stays active.
NYC mandates that these fences be solid, at least 8 feet high, and painted hunter green. In some cases, viewing panels may be required depending on site conditions or DOB review. Furthermore, under Local Law 163, any fence remaining for 90 days or longer requires DCLA-approved artwork. We navigate this entire aesthetic compliance process for you.
Chain link is generally limited to officially stalled sites and certain low-density residential projects. 24Seven Sidewalk Shed provides robust construction site fencing in NYC that coordinates directly with your overhead protection, including pedestrian canopies and sidewalk sheds.
A DOB work permit is required before erecting any site barrier. Drawings must be filed through DOB NOW under the EQ designator, the mandatory drawing designator for temporary construction equipment.
We install, permit, and maintain DOB-compliant construction fencing throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. From brownstone demolitions in Park Slope and gut renovations in Astoria to full-block excavations in Midtown, our crews handle the borough-specific logistics, tight frontages, DOT-heavy corridors, and landmark-district adjacencies, that slow other installers down.
Site Assessment: Our team measures your frontage, determines if your layout requires DOT permits, and identifies the correct filing path (Licensed Contractor vs. RDP).
DOB & DOT Filing: We handle the full DOB NOW submission using the EQ drawing designator and secure parallel DOT sign-offs where necessary.
Installation: Our crews install construction fences for rent across your site, mount the required Project Information Panel, and ensure all gates are fully functional and secure.
Maintenance & Close-Out: We handle routine site inspections, immediate damage repairs, and the final permit close-out in DOB NOW upon project completion.
DOB will not release your work permit until the temporary fence filing is approved. We handle the EQ filing, the DOT encroachment permit, and the installation of your §3307.7 compliant fence.

Yes. You cannot legally enclose a site for new-build or demolition work without an EQ-designated filing and an approved work permit.
Pricing is project-specific. It depends on total frontage length, the duration of the rental, the complexity of the permit filings, and whether your layout requires DOT encroachment approval. Contact us for an itemized quote.
If your fence extends more than 3 feet into the sidewalk, you must obtain a separate DOT permit. We file this concurrently with your DOB application to prevent project delays.
“EQ" is the mandatory drawing designator in DOB NOW for all temporary construction equipment filings, including fences, sidewalk sheds, and scaffolds.
A fence encloses the site at ground level, while a sidewalk shed protects pedestrians from overhead hazards. Many projects need both. We coordinate these under one filing chain. Learn about our Sidewalk Shed NYC services.
The fence remains for the duration of your active work permit and must be maintained in sound condition. Once your project passes final inspection, we remove the fence and close out the permit in DOB NOW.
The property owner is ultimately responsible, but the licensed contractor typically handles installation. We act as the single point of contact for both, managing all filings and repairs.
Yes. If your fence stays up 90 days or more, Local Law 163 says you need DCLA-approved artwork. We take care of the filing, design, and install so you don’t get hit with a DOB violation for missing it.
