NYC HIC License #2096632-DCA · Private contractor, not DOB or the City

What we help with

We are a licensed NYC home improvement contractor and general contractor. Most of our work starts with a problem the owner didn't plan for: an order on the door, a violation in the mail, or work that was never permitted.

  • Stop Work Order Removal

    Full or partial order on your property? We help correct the conditions, get the right filings in place, and finish the job compliantly.

  • Legalize Work Without a Permit

    Work done without a permit can be brought into compliance with drawings, filings, inspections, and corrective work where needed.

  • DOB Violation Help

    We help fix the underlying work and permit issues behind DOB and ECB/OATH violations so the correction can be documented.

  • Permits & Architect Drawings

    Architect drawings, plus coordination of electrical and plumbing permits with the required licensed trades.

How we work with you

  1. Free consultation. Call us and tell us what the order or violation says. We look at the paperwork and the property with you.
  2. Plan the fix. We explain which corrective work, drawings, and permits are likely needed, and who does what.
  3. Correct and file. We coordinate architect drawings and electrical and plumbing permits with the required licensed trades, and do the corrective work.
  4. Finish compliantly. Once the conditions are addressed and the work is approved to continue, we help you complete the job.

A private contractor, not the City

TKO is not the Department of Buildings and does not issue or remove orders on our own. DOB decides when an order is rescinded. Our job is to help you get the work, drawings, and permits in shape so the order can be addressed.

If you have an order on your property, follow the instructions on it. Continuing work under a stop work order can lead to additional city fines and penalties.

Neighborhoods we serve

We work across North and South Brooklyn and in neighboring parts of Queens, from our base at 1486 DeKalb Ave in Bushwick.

Licensed and local

TKO Home Improvement holds NYC Home Improvement Contractor License #2096632-DCA and has served Brooklyn and Queens since 2020. You can reach S Pat Castellar directly at (718) 782-2288.

Common questions

Are you the Department of Buildings?
No. TKO Home Improvement is a private contractor. We are not the NYC Department of Buildings or any City agency. We work for property owners to help correct the conditions behind an order or violation and finish the work compliantly.
How fast can a stop work order be lifted?
We can't promise a timeline, and nobody honestly can. It depends on what the order cites, what drawings and permits are needed, and DOB review and inspection. We'll explain the steps for your property during the free consultation.
Do you work in Queens too?
Yes. Along with Brooklyn neighborhoods like Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope, and Sunset Park, we serve Ridgewood, Maspeth, and Glendale.
