In August 2024 I began the process of closing two TOH open permits filed in the 1950s. I began with an expediting company in Rockville Center (who name I will not reveal) that started the TOH process to close the permits. After the cost related to electrical and plumbing inspections, architectural drawing, TOH fees and months of delays, I took my details to Mark Anthony's firm in North Bellmore in Late December 2025. I explained the difficulties with the expeditor to Ashley, a member of the business's staff; she immediately connected me to Don Amen. After explaining the open permits and delays, he said the firm would take over my case and began to explain Mark Anthony's fees, TOH fees, schedules and the inspections process. Over the next four months, communications with Don were nothing short of exemplary. His expertise with the permit process, research of my home and property, drawings that needed to be prepared for the TOH and anticipated scheduling was outstanding. The process became more complicated because the original expeditor did not include a major part of what the TOH expected due to finishing that had to be maintained after alterations and renovations over the years. In addition, supplemental drawings and permit clarifications had to be submitted to the TOH. With the sale/closing of my home set for April 2026, Don assured me the predicted schedule would be met and was very patient; consistently and quickly responding to my "million" emails (certainly provided a "calm me down' feeling through a difficult TOH process). As expected, drawings were delivered, all changes were updated and the inspection process was ready. After numerous TOH fees for closing permits, inspections and certificate of completion were paid, happy to report that the permits are now CLOSED. I would certainly recommend Mark Anthony's firm for permits issues. His entire staff is very knowledgeable with the TOH minutia of guidelines. The process of researching codes going back to 1950 and checking for current standards is certainly an expertise that one develops over many years of experience, and to incorporate those details within a complete set of drawings is very time consuming and amazing, This firm is one that you should employ immediately if you are searching for help with any TOH issues. The process takes time, but, in 2026 it's difficult for find a company that delivers quality with the highest form of professionalism...that's what Mark Anthony's staff delivers. read more

While the initial plans provided by this architect were solid, the follow-through on their promised expediting services was a major letdown. As a contractor, I rely on dependable professionals to maintain my reputation--and unfortunately, this experience was anything but dependable. After months of delays and not following up with the town. and lack of communication, and what felt like complete disinterest in moving our project forward, we were left with no choice but to start over with a new firm. Checking in every few months shouldn't be considered excessive, yet even that seemed too much for them. Eventually, they went completely silent. Do your homework before hiring. In this business, reliability matters--and once that trust is broken, there's no going back. They won't be used again, and they know why. read more

I wasn't even an original client. Mark and his team had done the original drawings for the previous owners. The town required revisions. Mark and his team stepped up and did the necessary work quickly and right the first time. Quality service, commitment and good people. They go above and beyond. read more

Mark Anthony developed plans for a deck that needed a building permit. Did a great job in measuring, drawing blueprints and submitting for approval. Listened to me carefully and answered all my questions throughout the process. Total positive customer service experience with his team. No hesitation in recommending and using again on future projects. Building department and GC had no issues approving and executing the plan. read more

I used Mark Anthony Architects and extremely satisfied with their service. Literally called them and they had one of their architects at my location in a couple of days, the plans were drawn out a week later, made one or two revisions and the plans were submitted. Everything happened in a matter of about two in a half weeks. INCREDIBLE! Everyone that worked with us in our project was great. Very satisfied with their service and professionalism. They were all very friendly and made me feel comfortable with any revisions/questions that I had. read more

My family and I were recently in need of a full renovation of our home. Living in the area, I was familiar with the work of Mark Anthony Architects. On first impression it was obvious that Mark is extremely talented and knowledgeable at what he does. He had a lot of creative ideas and suggestions which ultimately helped us design exactly what we were looking for, and made us feel confident that the design and permitting process would go smoothly. His office is beautifully constructed and designed. Everyone I encountered in his office (Lisa, Don, Albert to name a few...) were professional, responsive and kind. Mark and his staff took me from start to finish of my project guiding me the whole way through. It was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone who is in need of a home project, large or small. read more
