Questions homeowners often ask.
Who holds an architect accountable?
In New York, architecture is a regulated profession. The New York State Education Department’s Office of the Professions oversees professional licensing, registration, and discipline.
Unlike relying solely on online reviews or a company’s reputation, homeowners can independently verify an architect’s credentials and have access to a formal complaint process when concerns arise.
Your Town or Village determines the requirements for your property. New York State provides oversight of the professionals practicing architecture.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your property address and any deadline on the notice. Have the paperwork handy if you can and we will explain what we need.
