Record 1: ECB Violation #39555321N — Work Without Permit / Unapproved Construction
What the source record says
The public description for 82-32 215 Street, Queens, NY 11427 states: “AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION, NO CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY WAS OBSERVED. A CONSTRUCTION FENCE ERECTED WITHOUT A PERMIT AND REMAINED IN PLACE. FENCE LEANING AT EXPOSURE 2 AND EXPOSURE 4, CREATING A COLLAPSE HAZARD TO T” Permit history should be compared against the alleged work, approved plans, contractor invoices, and any restoration or legalization path. Site-safety proof should be dated because DOB focuses on conditions at the inspection time.
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
- before-and-after photos
- contractor records

- permits
- approved drawings
Why this should not be ignored
Unpermitted work can block approvals, complicate closing or refinancing, and trigger repeat penalties.
