Steven Salvesen

  For nearly 30 years, Steven Salvesen and his team at RIP Construction Consultants have provided property owners and contractors alike with the necessary services to complete their renovation and new construction projects on time and up to code. Opening RIP in 1986, Mr. Salvesen soon positioned his company as New York City’s trusted source of expediting services, from permits for the NYC Department of Buildings to compliance with all manner of state licensing authorities. With a consulting record that exceeds 1,000 residential and commercial establishments across the city, Mr. Salvesen and his colleagues at RIP stand alone for their expertise and versatility in the areas of expediting and project management. Among their core competencies, Steven Salvesen and RIP regularly work with Manhattan restaurants, bars, and nightclubs to obtain approval on rezoning proposals, violation removals, variances, public assemblies, and much more. Whether seeking permits from the Department of Buildings, Department of Transportation, or the Landmarks Preservation Commission, RIP works with all pertinent NYC agencies to ensure that clients can complete their projects in short order. As a strong testament to its reputation, RIP helped legendary East Village bar The 13th Step expand its current location, made it possible for Chelsea nightclub Amnesia NYC to renovate and change its overall look, and worked with several other key establishments in recent years. Some of Mr. Salvesen and RIP’s current and former clients include Le Souk, Rockwood Music Hall, Greenhouse Nightclub, Experiemental Cocktail Club New York, Dos Caminos, and Down the Hatch.
