I need to waterproof my basement (Park Slope, Brooklyn) and have met with a number of waterproofing companies. Some say that no permits need to be filed to install sump pumps and connect them to drains, others say that LAA permits do need to be filed. I've called the Department of Buildings and have been forwarded to a number of different offices there and no one really knows how to answer the question. Does anyone have a clear answer? Thanks!

Correct answer is to file an LAA with a LMP (licensed master plumber).
