What Steve said. I have checked with a couple of states on this issue particularly on their definition of control by the PE over the drawings (a necessity for stamping). I would assume NY is the same in the Board defining the who and what can be stated but NOT The when its required (which is a code thing).
I started this review because a good while back many government jobs required the contractor to have a PE seal their drawings. This was a violation for the PE in most states. Their Board defined control has having both the PE and the technician drawing the plans to be employed by the same company. This lead to some gyrations whereby the PE can review the work of others and not STAMP them but place a letter of review (or something to that effect) on the plans.
