Burnham Nationwide, a leader in permit expediting and code consulting, announces the upcoming 2024-2025 holiday season construction moratoriums across major

U.S. cities. Spanning New York City, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, these moratoriums reduce congestion, maintain open pathways in high-traffic areas, and support easy access to retail and event spaces during the peak holiday season.

Holiday moratoriums are generally applied from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day, limiting construction on key streets to facilitate retail, dining, and event access. Each city imposes unique restrictions and timing, making Burnham’s permit expediting and code consulting expertise invaluable for companies navigating these regulations. With dedicated permit expediting teams in New York City, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, Burnham Nationwide offers comprehensive guidance to ensure clients meet all compliance standards without delay.
