941 55 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219 — NYC OATH Hearing & Violation Status Review

Property-specific hearing analysis for 941 55 Street

The public source data placed this July 2026 DOB/ECB/OATH hearing at 941 55 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219. For searchers reviewing this address, the important point is not just that a hearing exists; it is that the record ties the hearing to BIN 3139234 and BBL 3-05673-0073, which are the identifiers typically used when comparing DOB, OATH, title, permit, and closing records.

The first listed hearing record on this page was scheduled for 07/15/2026 at 8:30 AM. The historical source status shown in the source data was PENDING, the severity is CLASS - 1, and the balance shown in the public extract is $2,500. Because that source extract predates the hearing, the displayed status and balance should not be treated as the current OATH or DOB disposition.

The violation categories summarized on this page are: Work Without Permit / Unapproved Construction (3), Stop Work / Unsafe Condition (1). Brooklyn properties often involve older building stock, mixed residential/commercial use, and alteration histories that need careful DOB record review.

What the public violation language suggests

The public violation description for the first record states: FAILURE TO PROVIDE UNOBSTRUCTED EXIT PASSAGEWAY.AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION.NOTED THAT EXIT PASSAGEWAYS ON ALL FIVE FLOORS ARE OBSTRUCTED BY STORED MATERIALS HOUSE HOLD ITEMS SHOE RACKS STROLLERS AND CARDBOARD BO

Based on that wording, the practical preparation issues include the following:

• The cited text should be read word-for-word because small wording differences can change whether the best response is proof of correction, legalization, dismissal evidence, or mitigation.

This is why a property owner, broker, attorney, contractor, or managing agent should not treat the hearing as a simple fine notice. The wording of the description, the cited law section, the hearing status, and the existing DOB record all affect whether the best approach is dismissal evidence, mitigation, correction, permit legalization, professional documentation, or a Certificate of Correction strategy.

Code and documentation notes for this address

The cited law or infraction references appearing in the public records for this property include 127: 27-369,BC 1020.2 FAIL TO PROVIDE UNOBSTRUCTED EXIT PASSAGEWAY; 138: 28-301.1 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BUILDING IN CODE-COMPLIANT MANNER: LACK OF EMERGEN; 106: 27-/28-/BC-MISC MISCELLANEOUS VIOLATIONS; 132: 28-301.1 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BUILDING IN CODE-COMPLIANT MANNER: ILLUMINATION F. Those references should be compared against current DOB NOW, BIS, OATH, permit, inspection, and professional records when reviewing the present status. A code reference by itself does not tell the whole story; the supporting facts are usually found in photos, inspector notes, permit history, filings, and correction documentation.

For 941 55 Street, a useful review should start with three questions: First, what exactly did the inspector observe? Second, was there already a permit, filing, report, or professional inspection that covered the condition? Third, if the condition was corrected after the violation was issued, what proof now exists to document correction or support any available post-hearing process?

If the record involves multiple violations at the same BBL, they should be reviewed together. One permit, one contractor visit, one professional inspection, or one correction package may affect more than one open item, but the evidence still has to be organized around each individual ECB violation number.
