Home Improvements


If you are thinking about doing ANYTHING to your home – inside or out – It would be well advised to make a phone call to or stop by the Building Department. This should be one of your first priorities. After all, permits are required to insure your safety as well as insure compliance with Building Codes.



Pool Season


Please remember pools are potential death traps, especially for little kids. Any pool that is 24 inches or more in depth (which includes residential in ground pools, above ground pools, inflatable pools, hot tubs, spas and even fixed wading pools) requires a building permit and must comply with New York State Building Codes and the Town of Mamakating Codes.
