Work Without a Permit — Summons 39199916Y
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 10, 2026; hearing October 16, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION, A MAKESHIFT SUSPENDED SCAFFOLD WAS OBSERVED. IT HAD BEEN INSTALLED TO THE PARAPET AND SUPPORTED BY THE DUNNAGE OF THE AC UNIT ON THE BUILDING'S ROOF TO PERFORM FACADE WORK FOR THE BRI
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
Façade / Exterior Wall — Summons 39199923M
CLASS - 2 · Issued August 10, 2026; hearing October 16, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION, A SUSPENDED SCAFFOLD WAS OBSERVED TO HAVE BEEN INSTALLED WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION TO THE DEPARTMENT BEFORE ITS ERECTION FOR EXPOSURE ONE FACADE WORK., COMPLY WITH CODE
Cited provision(s): 261 — BC 3314.1.1 & 27-1050.1 FAILED TO NOTIFY DEPARTMENT/OBTAIN PERMIT PRIOR TO USE/INST. OFF C-HOO
How this type of condition is typically resolved
Exterior-wall charges usually require a competent inspection of the cited façade/appurtenance, repair of unsafe or deteriorated conditions, and—when the building is subject to FISP—the appropriate QEWI report or amended filing.
Hearing issues to verify
- Does the inspector's description match the actual exposure, floor and defect?
- Was the condition already repaired or protected before the summons date?
- Was there a current FISP/QEWI filing addressing the same condition?
Evidence that may matter
- QEWI report, FISP filing or amended report
- Close-up and elevation photographs identifying the exact defect
- Repair proposals, invoices and completion records
- Engineer/architect letter and inspection documentation
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.
