You need inspections that don’t slow down your project or create headaches with the DOB. Our experienced team handles everything from structural inspections to energy code compliance, delivering reports that pass regulatory review the first time.
While other agencies send recent graduates who are learning on your job, we bring over 15 years of engineering expertise to every inspection. We know what to look for, how to document it properly, and how to communicate findings that actually help your project move forward.
The result is simple: your Hollis construction project stays on schedule, meets code requirements, and avoids the costly rework that comes from inexperienced inspection work.
Broadway Inspections serves architects and construction managers throughout Queens with special inspection services that actually make sense for your project. We’ve been handling commercial inspections across NYC since our founding, bringing real engineering experience to every job site.
Here’s the difference: when you call us, you talk to the people who will actually inspect your project. No phone trees, no junior staff who need to check with someone else, no waiting days for a callback. You get direct access to experienced professionals who understand both the technical requirements and the practical realities of construction in Hollis.
We know the specific challenges of building in Queens—from soil conditions to DOB requirements to the logistics of getting inspections done efficiently in dense urban environments. That local knowledge translates into smoother inspections and fewer surprises for your project.
We start by reviewing your approved plans to understand exactly what inspections your Hollis project needs and when they need to happen. No guesswork—we identify the critical points where our engineering inspections are required for DOB compliance.
Our certified inspectors show up on time at your scheduled phases. During concrete pours, we verify rebar placement and sample fresh concrete according to specifications. For structural steel work, we check connections, bolt installations, and verify everything matches your approved drawings. Every inspection follows NYC building code requirements precisely.
After each visit, you get detailed reports documenting our findings and any items that need attention. We don’t just tell you what’s wrong—we provide clear guidance on how to address compliance issues quickly. Our reports meet all DOB requirements and give you the documentation needed to keep your project moving toward final approval.

Your Hollis construction project gets comprehensive special inspection coverage across all critical systems. We handle progress inspections, structural elements, mechanical systems, energy code compliance, architectural components, and sprinkler/standpipe installations—everything required for commercial construction in Queens.
The geology and building conditions in Hollis present specific considerations for construction projects. Our inspectors understand these local factors and adjust our engineering inspections accordingly. Whether you’re dealing with typical Queens soil conditions or addressing the unique challenges of urban construction logistics, we know what to expect and how to handle it.
Each inspection includes thorough documentation with actionable recommendations. If we spot potential problems, we don’t just note them—we provide specific guidance on addressing issues before they become expensive delays. Our approach focuses on keeping your project compliant and moving forward, not creating more work for your team.
Almost every commercial construction project in Hollis requires special inspections, especially work involving professional engineering or architectural services. This includes new buildings, major renovations, structural modifications, mechanical system installations, and most permitted construction work.
Specific elements requiring special inspections include concrete work over certain volumes, structural steel connections, masonry construction, welding operations, fireproofing applications, and mechanical system installations. The exact requirements depend on your project scope and are identified by your design professional during planning.
Since 2008, NYC requires special inspections for virtually all construction projects, and the Department of Buildings won’t issue work permits until you have a registered special inspection agency handling your TR-1 forms. Getting us involved during project planning ensures these requirements are built into your construction schedule from the start.
We schedule inspections to match your construction timeline, not the other way around. Most commercial projects need three to four special inspections at key milestones—concrete pours, structural installations, mechanical rough-ins, and final systems testing.
Our inspectors arrive on schedule and complete their work efficiently without holding up your construction crews. We understand that delays cost money, so we coordinate with your project managers to ensure inspections happen when you need them, not when it’s convenient for us.
Reports are delivered within 24-48 hours of inspection completion. This quick turnaround means you have the documentation needed for the next construction phase without waiting around for paperwork. If issues need immediate attention, we communicate those findings the same day to keep your project moving forward.
Our reports provide complete documentation of code compliance and construction quality for your Hollis project. Each report details what we inspected, what we found, and whether work meets the approved construction documents and NYC building code requirements.
For concrete inspections, we document rebar placement verification, concrete sampling and testing results, and compliance with specified mix designs and placement procedures. Structural steel reports cover connection details, bolt specifications, member placement, and overall installation quality. Mechanical inspections address system installations, code compliance, and operational readiness.
Beyond documenting compliance, our reports include practical recommendations when issues arise. Instead of just noting problems, we explain what needs to be corrected and provide guidance on bringing work into compliance efficiently. This approach helps you resolve issues quickly rather than leaving you to figure out next steps on your own.
Yes, we specialize in NYC building codes and understand the specific requirements for construction in Queens and Hollis. Our inspectors stay current with local code updates, DOB procedures, and the practical requirements for getting projects approved in this area.
We’re familiar with the typical construction challenges in Queens—from soil conditions that affect foundation work to the logistical considerations of working in dense urban areas. This local knowledge helps us anticipate potential issues and work with your team to address them before they become problems.
Our experience with Queens projects means we understand not just the technical requirements, but also the practical aspects of working with local DOB offices, coordinating with other trades in tight spaces, and managing inspection schedules that work with urban construction realities.
Two things set us apart: real experience and direct communication. While many agencies send recent college graduates to learn on your project, our inspectors bring over 15 years of actual construction and engineering experience to every job site.
When you work with us, you communicate directly with the people doing the work. No corporate phone trees, no junior staff who need to check with supervisors, no waiting days for responses. You call us, you get us—the experienced professionals who understand your project and can make decisions quickly.
We’re focused on being actual partners in your project’s success, not just checking regulatory boxes. Our experience helps us spot potential problems before they become expensive delays, and our direct communication style means issues get resolved quickly rather than getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.
Contact us during your project planning phase, before construction starts. The DOB requires completed TR-1 forms from a registered special inspection agency before they’ll issue work permits, so early involvement isn’t just helpful—it’s mandatory for permit approval.
We can review your project plans during design to identify exactly what special inspections you’ll need and when they should occur. This early planning ensures inspections integrate smoothly into your construction schedule instead of creating unexpected delays or complications.
We typically respond to project inquiries within 24-48 hours with a clear proposal outlining required inspections and scheduling. The earlier we understand your project requirements, the better we can support your timeline and help ensure everything stays on track from groundbreaking to final approval.
