North Hempstead, NY – Are you making an alteration to your home and need to file an application with the Town of North Hempstead Building Department, but can’t make it in during normal business hours? Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth has announced that the Building Department will be offering evening appointments on-site at the department’s headquarters on Wednesday nights starting January 14th. Appointments begin at 6:00pm.

During these scheduled appointments, residents will have an opportunity to meet with the Town’s Applicant Advocate, and a Clerk that can take in applications for permits or certificates. “For many homeowners, it can be difficult to visit the Building Department during the day due to work and family obligations,” Supervisor Bosworth said. “Offering the opportunity for residents to visit after hours to have their questions answered or file applications adds another layer of convenience to our service.”

The Town of North Hempstead Building Department is located at 176 Plandome Road in Manhasset. To schedule an evening appointment, please call 311 in the Town of North Hempstead, or 516-869-6311 outside of the Town.
