There are two types of alterations:
Type I:
A simple renovation. Some examples include carpeting, wallpapering, painting, refinishing existing wood flooring, re-grouting bathroom tile, replacing an appliance or individual light fixture in the existing location, and installation of a window AC unit. Type I renovations require no security deposit, no usage fee and no processing fee. Time frame will be two months.
Type II:
A more complicated alteration. Some examples include: full replacement of two or more plumbing fixtures—lavatory, bathtub, shower stall construction or shower area retiling—in their existing locations with similar size and style fixtures; installation/replacement of kitchen cabinetry/counters, without changing existing layout; installation of new appliances and fixtures with only minor electrical work; removal or construction of any wall or ceiling; installation of new flooring or partitions; any new or modified penetrations of the exterior building wall—i.e., approved through-wall ale or exhaust vent; replacement of windows; heating and air conditioning work, excluding sleeve and window AC units; electrical work; plumbing work; and combinations of apartments, kitchen and bathroom alterations which involve reconfiguration of space and installation of new appliances & plumbing fixtures.
