Village Building Permits Were Up In December

Permits are down so far this year though.

The New Hyde Park Village Building Department issued 48 permits, said Trustee Lawrence Montreuil during Tuesday night's board meeting. This is a 30% increase over the previous month and also a 30% increase year-over-year, he added.

"This is the second highest month for building permits this fiscal year, which began in June," Montreuil said.

This uptick was mainly due to plumbing permits, such as boiler replacements, Montreuil explained.
