Yes. Every NJ municipality requires a building permit and sealed structural engineering drawings for basement floor lowering because the work modifies load-bearing footings and alters the building envelope. The NJ UCC treats this as a structural alteration.
Scaldino coordinates the licensed NJ structural engineer, files the permit, and schedules footing, rebar, and slab inspections with the municipal construction official. Homeowners should never attempt this work without engineering.
