ROOSEVELT ISLAND – (January 23, 2019) - RIOC is pleased to introduce a new online permitting portal, Civic Permits! This user-friendly software makes it easy for individuals and groups to check outdoor space and indoor facility availability, submit new permit requests, track current approved permits, upload insurance documents, and pay online. Civic Permits will expedite the permit approval process and make it easier to use RIOC-operated locations.
Civic Permits will officially launch on February 4 in conjunction with the acceptance of outdoor field permit requests. While the portal is user friendly and easy to navigate, RIOC will be providing in-person training on January 29 at 9 a.m., and January 31 at 5:30 p.m. Both trainings will be held at 591 Main Street. Additional tutorials and Frequently Asked Questions will be posted on the RIOC website. Please email permits@rioc.ny.gov for more information or to RSVP to a training.
