Under penalty of perjury
, I certify that I am the owner of the 1, 2, 3 or 4 family, owner-occupied residence
(including condominiums) listed on the building permit that I am applying for, and I am not required to show
specific proof of workers’ compensation insurance coverage for such residence because (please check the

I am performing all the work for which the building permit was issued.
I am not hiring, paying or compensating in any way, the individual(s) that is(are) performing all the work
for which the building permit was issued or helping me perform such work.

attached building permit AND am hiring or paying individuals a total of less than 40 hours per week
(aggregate hours for all paid individuals on the jobsite) for which the building permit was issued.
I also agree to either:
♦
acquire appropriate workers’ compensation coverage and provide appropriate proof of that coverage on
forms approved by the Chair of the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board to the government entity issuing
the building permit if I need to hire or pay individuals a total of 40 hours or more per week (aggregate hours
for all paid individuals on the jobsite) for work indicated on the building permit
or if appropriate, file a
,
WC/DB-100 exemption form; OR
♦
have the general contractor, performing the work on the 1, 2, 3 or 4 family, owner-occupied residence
(including condominiums) listed on the building permit that I am applying for, provide appropriate proof of
workers’ compensation coverage or proof of exemption from that coverage on forms approved by the Chair
of the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board to the government entity issuing the building permit if the
project takes a total of 40 hours or more per week (aggregate hours for all paid individuals on the jobsite) for
work indicated on the building permit.
