Egress / Exit Obstruction — Summons 39201499M
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 24, 2026; hearing October 29, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ACCESS GAINED; NEW OWNER. AT TIME OF INSPECTION, OBSERVED A/C UNITS INSTALLED AT FIRE ESCAPE WINDOWS ON THE 3RD AND 4TH FLOORS, OBSTRUCTING THE REQUIRED MEANS OF EMERGENCY EGRESS., REMOVE OBSTRUCTION
Cited provision(s): 127 — 27-369,BC 1020.2 FAIL TO PROVIDE UNOBSTRUCTED EXIT PASSAGEWAY
How this type of condition is typically resolved
Egress charges are generally corrected by removing the obstruction or restoring the required exit width/path and then documenting that the means of egress is clear and code compliant.
Hearing issues to verify
- Was the cited passageway actually required egress for the affected occupancy?
- Did the alleged obstruction exist when the inspector observed it?
- Was the condition immediately removed and can the timing be documented?
Evidence that may matter
- Dated photographs showing the exit path
- Approved floor/egress plans
- Building or security logs
- Statements or work records documenting removal of stored items/obstructions
Failure to Maintain — Summons 39201498K
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 24, 2026; hearing October 29, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ACCESS GAINED; NEW OWNER. AT INSPECTION, OBSERVED EXPOSURE 1 PARAPET CORNICE DETERIORATED WITH RUSTED METAL AND HOLES; ROTTED SIDEWALK VAULT METAL PLATE WITH HOLE REQUIRING REPAIR. EXPOSURES 2 AND 4 HAVE VERTIC
Cited provision(s): 102 — 28-301.1 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BLDG IN CODE-COMPLIANT MANNER
How this type of condition is typically resolved
Failure-to-maintain charges are fact-specific. The owner should identify the exact building component or service equipment cited, repair the condition, and document the repair with evidence tied to the inspection location/date.
Hearing issues to verify
- Does the description accurately identify the component, location and condition?
- Was the condition already repaired or not present when the summons was issued?
- Was another party responsible for maintenance under facts that are legally relevant to the respondent's liability?
Evidence that may matter
- Dated before/after photographs
- Repair invoices and contractor statements
- Professional inspection/report when structural or technical conditions are involved
- Maintenance logs and prior inspection records
Case-specific next step
For this property, the first paid review should reconcile the 2 October summons records against the current OATH/DOB record, identify which alleged conditions remain open, and separate the hearing defense from the DOB correction / certification work. That prevents paying for correction work that does not address the actual charge—or appearing at OATH without the documents needed for the cited condition.
