What this violation means
DOB is alleging that work in progress did not match the approved construction documents or amendments. Even permitted work can be cited if the field condition departs materially from the approved plan set.
What may be required to correct the condition
The field condition should be compared line-by-line with the approved plans. Depending on what is found, the project may need to be restored to the approved design or the plans may need to be amended and re-approved before the work continues or is signed off.
What the OATH hearing may involve
Hearing evidence can include the approved plan sheets in effect on the inspection date, revision history, photographs of the field condition, professional reports and proof that the discrepancy was corrected or formally amended.
Possible defenses or factual issues worth investigating
Identify the exact plan sheet/detail DOB says was violated, confirm which approved set controlled on the inspection date, and determine whether the field condition was temporary, incomplete, or actually inconsistent with the approval.
