If plans for construction are submitted to the DOH, when must they be resubmitted if construction does not begin?

The correct timeframe for the resubmission of construction plans to the Department of Health (DOH) is 24 months if construction does not commence. This means that if plans are not acted upon within this period, they lose their validity and must be re-evaluated to ensure compliance with current regulations and standards. The 24-month period is likely established to encourage timely project initiation while also allowing enough time for planning and regulatory updates that may affect the construction plans.

Shorter periods such as 18 months, 12 months, or 6 months might not provide adequate time for project complexities or unforeseen delays that can occur in the planning stages, highlighting the importance of ensuring that the plans remain aligned with any regulatory changes that may have occurred during that time.
