Failure to Maintain — Summons 39198215R
CLASS - 2 · Issued July 29, 2026; hearing October 2, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN. OBSERVED AT EXPOSURE#1, 3RD. FLOOR WINDOWS ARE MISSING, NOT BOARDED UP., REPAIR AND/OR REPLACE; REPAIR/REPLACE
Cited provision(s): 202 — 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
Illegal Occupancy / Conversion — Summons 39198217K
CLASS - 2 · Issued July 29, 2026; hearing October 2, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: OCCUPANCY CONTRARY TO CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY#200899885, LISTS PARKING FOR ONE VEHICLE. I OBSERVED THREE VEHICLES PARKED AT EXPOSURE#1., DISCONTINUE ILLEGAL OCCUPANCY OR AMEND C OF O; AMEND C OF O,. DISCONTINU
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.
