Many villages also have **architectural or historic review boards** for storefronts and signage, and food service establishments are permitted by the **Westchester County Department of Health**. We map the approval path for your address before design begins. ## Local jurisdiction - **Building permits:** Issued by each city, town or village building department in Westchester County - **Building code:** New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and NYS Energy Code - **Fire protection:** Local fire marshals and fire departments - **Food service:** Westchester County Department of Health - **Landmarks:** Local historic and architectural review boards, where applicable ## Neighborhoods we serve in Westchester ### Southern Westchester Dense downtowns with retail, medical offices and restaurants just north of the Bronx.
