CLASS - 1 · Issued January 9, 2026; hearing October 5, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT: ATOI I OBSERVED AT THE REAR OF THE BUILDING AN UNPERMITTED UNDOCUMENTED VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL STRUCTURE WAS ERECTED ILLEGALLY, APPROX. SIZE 6FT IN WIDTH BY 10FT IN LENGTH BY 10FT IN HIG
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

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.
