Work Without a Permit — Summons 39170405N
CLASS - 1 · Issued December 15, 2025; hearing October 1, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ATOI, OBSERVED "BEAUTIFY BEAUTY SUPPLY" STORE AT ABOVE PREMISES WHICH WAS CONVERTED FROM TWO STORES INTO ONE STORE WITHOUT A PERMIT AND CONTRARY TO C/O # 106055, ISSUED NOV B203 AND NOV B101. AS PER GOOGLE MAPS
Cited provision(s): 101 — 28-105.1 WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT
How this type of condition is typically resolved
The correction path usually starts by determining whether the observed work required a permit and whether the condition can legally remain. If it can remain, legalization may require plans, a filing, permit, inspections and closeout; if it cannot or the owner does not want to legalize it, restoration to a lawful condition may be required.
Hearing issues to verify
- Did a valid permit already cover the exact work described by the inspector on the issue date?
- Was the cited activity actually permit-required work, or was it maintenance / exempt work under the applicable facts?
- Do the approved drawings, permit scope and inspection history match the condition the inspector described?
- If a Stop Work Order was issued, was the work stopped and was any later work performed only after the required authorization?
Evidence that may matter
- Permit and DOB NOW/BIS job records that predate the inspection
- Approved plans and amendments showing the cited work
- Dated photographs of the condition and construction stage
- Contracts, invoices and contractor statements establishing what work was actually performed
- Inspection / sign-off records if the work was subsequently legalized
Illegal Occupancy / Conversion — Summons 39170412L
CLASS - 2 · Issued December 15, 2025; hearing October 1, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ATOI, OBSERVED "BEAUTIFY BEAUTY SUPPLY" STORE AT ABOVE PREMISES WHICH WAS CONVERTED FROM TWO STORES INTO ONE STORE WITHOUT A PERMIT AND CONTRARY TO C/O # 106055, ISSUED NOV B203 AND NOV B101. AS PER GOOGLE MAPS
Cited provision(s): 203 — 28-118.3.2 OCC CONTRARY TO THAT ALLOWED BY THE C OF O OR DOB RECORDS
How this type of condition is typically resolved
The key question is whether the observed occupancy or layout matches the lawful use of the premises. Resolution may require restoring the prior lawful layout/use or, when legally feasible, filing plans and obtaining approvals to legalize the condition.
Hearing issues to verify
- What use and number of dwelling/occupancy units are shown by the Certificate of Occupancy, Schedule of Occupancy or other lawful-use records?
- Did the inspector accurately identify how the space was being used on the cited date?
- Was the cited space actually occupied as alleged, or were the observed beds, kitchens, locks or partitions consistent with another lawful use?
- Is there an approved filing or historical record supporting the present use?
Evidence that may matter
- Certificate of Occupancy / Schedule of Occupancy and approved plans
- Historic occupancy records, permits and prior approved layouts
- Dated photographs and floor plans
- Leases, tenant records or sworn statements concerning actual use
- Permits/inspection records if the condition was legalized or restored
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.
