What this means for your filing
If your Staten Island New Building job has been in review for less than 43 days, it's inside the normal range — pushing DOB now is unlikely to help. Past 141 days, your filing is slower than 80% of comparable jobs and is worth chasing: check for open objections, incomplete items, or a plan-examiner queue issue.
