Record 1: ECB Violation #39136986L — Work Without Permit / Unapproved Construction
What the source record says
The public description for 5302 2 Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220 states: “NOTED AT TIME OF MY INSPECTION I OBSERVED AT THE SECOND FLOOR AT THE REAR THIS OFFICE BUILDING, THEY REMOVED WALLS FROM BETWEEN 6 COLUMNS SPACE APPROXIMATELY 20' FEET WIDE 20' IN HEIGHT WITHOUT A PERMIT, NEED T” 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
The record appears to involve work DOB alleges was performed without required approval, permit issuance, or approved documents.
What a hearing on this record may have focused on
A hearing on this type of record may have asked whether the observed work existed, whether a permit covered it, whether the respondent was legally responsible, and whether the work was restored or legalized.
Documents and proof worth reviewing now

- approved drawings
Why this should not be ignored
