Record 1: ECB Violation #39191249N — Work Without Permit / Unapproved Construction
What the source record says
The public description for 115 West 86 Street, Manhattan, NY 10024 states: “ELECTRICAL WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT. ATOI I OBSERVED NEW ELECTRICAL BX CABLES, TEMPORARY LIGHTING AND NEW ELECTRICAL BOXES THROUGHOUT FRONT LOBBY INSTALLED WITHOUT DOB APPROVED PERMIT FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK., OBTAI” Because the inspector identified a location within the premises, photos and repair proof should match that same area. Permit history should be compared against the alleged work, approved plans, contractor invoices, and any restoration or legalization path.
What this category usually means

What a hearing on this record may have focused on

Documents and proof worth reviewing now
- permits

- legalization or restoration proof
Why this should not be ignored
Unpermitted work can block approvals, complicate closing or refinancing, and trigger repeat penalties.
