Record 1: ECB Violation #39190905H — Work Without Permit / Unapproved Construction
What the source record says
The public description for 8 Sutton Square, Manhattan, NY 10022 states: “ATOI, OBSERVED SIDEWALK CURB AT FRONT OF PROPERTY (EXP. 1) IS CUT SO THAT PORTION OF SIDEWALK IS LOWERED ENABLING A VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNTO GARAGE OF BUILDING WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING THE REQUIRED PERMIT. CURB CUT” Because the inspector identified a location within the premises, photos and repair proof should match that same area. Curb or sidewalk issues may require DOT/DOB records and proof of restoration to legal condition.
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
- permits
- approved drawings
- before-and-after photos
- contractor records
- legalization or restoration proof
Why this should not be ignored
Unpermitted work can block approvals, complicate closing or refinancing, and trigger repeat penalties.
