NYC Sign Regulations for Realtors
We don’t file permits or certify compliance — but after 35 years in NYC, we know what to flag before it becomes a problem.
For Sale / For Rent Signs
NYC zoning allows these up to 12 sq ft on the premises being sold or rented. Generally exempt from DOB permits.
Licensed Sign Hanger
Signs over 75 sq ft or 25 lbs require a NYC-licensed sign hanger for installation (Construction Code §28-415.1).
Landmark Districts
Properties in landmark or historic districts may need LPC review before exterior signage is installed.
Sidewalk Placement
A-frames can't extend more than 3 ft from the building line or obstruct pedestrian flow. Regulated by Sanitation/DOT.
Illuminated Signs
Require annual DOB permits. Restricted in residential zoning districts to healthcare facilities and size-limited applications.
Zoning Variations
Sign rules vary by R, C, and M districts. Use NYC Planning's ZoLa tool to check your property's district.
Materials
We match the material to the job — so your sign lasts as long as you need it to.
| Material | Best For | Durability | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corrugated Plastic (Coroplast) | Short-term listings, open houses, directional signs | 3–12 months outdoor | Lightweight, affordable, easy to transport. The most cost-effective option for signs you'll cycle through quickly. |
| Aluminum (.040) | Standard listing signs, riders, long-term use | 5+ years outdoor | Industry standard. Rust-proof, won't warp, prints in full color with UV-resistant inks. Rounded corners for safety. |
| PVC / Sintra | Indoor displays, leasing offices, temporary outdoor | 2–3 years outdoor | Clean, smooth finish. Lightweight with a more polished look than coroplast. Works well for interior leasing signage. |
| Alumalite / Dibond | Premium installations, permanent signage | 7+ years outdoor | Aluminum composite with a corrugated core. Dent-resistant, extremely rigid. For high-end development and commercial sites. |
