Paul R. Grissett

Since 1999, Paul R. Grissett has led RAND’s in-house Code & Zoning efforts, guiding projects through the complex permitting and city agency filing processes required before construction can begin. As Code & Zoning Compliance Team Leader, Paul oversees a wide range of responsibilities, including securing permits across all disciplines, obtaining Certificates of Occupancy, clearing violations, conducting zoning and code analyses, and managing filings for regulatory compliance. He also coordinates responses to agency objections, leads inspection walkthroughs, and manages record and plan searches.
Paul’s deep knowledge of New York City’s regulatory landscape comes from years of hands-on experience working closely with agencies such as the Department of Buildings, Landmarks Preservation Commission, Department of Transportation, NYC Fire Department, Environmental Control Board, Parks Department, Office of Environmental Remediation, Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and Department of Environmental Protection. He is fully versed in zoning regulations, building codes, and local laws, and is known for his thoroughness, calm problem-solving, and consistent support of both clients and colleagues.
Before joining RAND, Paul worked as a legal records supervisor at Willkie Farr & Gallagher. He studied construction and civil engineering at New York City Technical College.
