Record 1: ECB Violation #39193079Z — Work Without Permit / Unapproved Construction
What the source record says
The public description for 160-05 134 Avenue, Queens, NY 11434 states: “WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT. OBSERVED BOILER, HOT WATER HEATER AND ALL PLUMBING FIXTURES AND LINES HAVE BEEN FULLY REMOVED FROM BUILDING. NO PERMITS ON FILE FOR WORK COMPLETED., OBTAIN PERMIT” Permit history should be compared against the alleged work, approved plans, contractor invoices, and any restoration or legalization path. Boiler filing status should be verified because accepted filings, not just physical service, often determine closeout.
What this category usually means

What a hearing on this record may have focused on
