Jersey City 8-Unit Brownstone Conversion
Filed UCC packet + PSE&G 8-meter ESI + NJ DCA elevator permit the same week — parallel clocks shaved 6 weeks off a typical JC conversion.

A Hudson County developer had three previous brownstone conversions stall 60+ days at the PSE&G service-upgrade stage. ClearPath pre-staged the ESI at the same time as the F100 so the utility approval landed before the UCC permit hit review. The elevator permit (NJ DCA) — often forgotten until framing — was submitted the same week, clearing its review concurrently.
Cherry Hill Route 70 Restaurant Build-Out
Tenant signed a lease with a 90-day opening clause. ClearPath coordinated Atlantic City Electric ESI with mechanical and fire so kitchen hood, grease interceptor, and service upgrade all cleared in parallel.

A QSR operator had a hard opening date driven by franchisee marketing spend. The GC had never worked in ACE territory — they were about to submit a PSE&G ESI by mistake. We caught it at intake, rerouted to Atlantic City Electric, pre-coordinated hood suppression with the fire subcode office, and staged plumbing stacks so the grease interceptor review didn't become a bottleneck.
Montclair Upper Historic District Rear Addition
Filed HPC application in parallel with UCC instead of sequentially. HPC approval cleared before UCC review finished, saving ~3 weeks.

Homeowner-builder had already been bounced once by the Montclair HPC on siding color. ClearPath re-submitted with correct historical detailing, routed the HPC application concurrent with the F100, and pre-coordinated the fire subcode smoke/CO scope so the full package cleared together.
Old Bridge Pool Season Batch — 14 Permits
A pool builder running Middlesex route needed 14 permits filed in April. Standardized JCP&L ESI packets cut prep time to 30 min per job; batch submittal to Old Bridge got priority review.

Pool builders hit a spring wall every year — Old Bridge alone processes hundreds of pool permits in April-May. By running batched, standardized packets and pre-coordinating zoning setback checks, we got 14 permits cleared at an average of 9 days each during the township's busiest window. No revisions on 12 of 14.
Hoboken 12-Unit + Ground-Floor Retail
Separated fire-rated occupancies filed correctly the first time. NFPA 13R designation locked at intake — saved a complete sprinkler re-design mid-review.
Read the full story →
Mixed-use projects in Hoboken often get tripped up by the NFPA 13 vs 13R sprinkler call — it determines whether the ground-floor retail gets sprinklered to full commercial standard or to the multifamily spec. ClearPath flagged the occupancy classification at intake, coordinated with the sprinkler designer before filing, and locked the correct design before the fire subcode office ever saw it.
Newark 200A Residential Service Upgrade
Straightforward F120 + PSE&G ESI filed same day. Inspector slipped past AB 573 window; we invoked the 3-business-day remedy and got the private inspector on the job the next morning.
Read the full story →
A homeowner needed a 200A service upgrade tied to a kitchen gut reno. Newark's inspection schedule had slipped into a 5-day queue. We documented the AB 573 3-business-day violation, notified the building department in writing, and had a private inspector on site by day 4. Permit closed with no additional cost to the homeowner.
