CLASS - 2 · Issued August 7, 2026; hearing October 21, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: FAILURE OF PERMIT HOLDER TO PROVIDE INSP. ACCESS TO AND/OR EXPOSE ONGOING CONST. OR WORK ON AN ACTIVE AND PERMITTED WORKSITE. AT TIME OF INSP I WAS DENIED ACCESS BY WORKER WHEN ASKED TO PERFORM 72HR NOTIFICATIO
Cited provision(s): 2A7 — 28-116.1 PERMIT HOLDER FAIL TO PROVIDE ACCESS AND/OR EXPOSE WORK ON ACTIVE SITE
How this type of condition is typically resolved
The first step is to read the inspector's narrative together with every cited code section and determine exactly what act, condition or missing filing DOB alleges. The correction and hearing strategy should then be built around that specific charge rather than a generic violation-removal checklist.
Hearing issues to verify
- Does the summons identify the correct property, respondent, date and observed condition?
- Do agency records support or contradict the inspector's description?
- Was the condition corrected, permitted or otherwise resolved before the hearing?
Evidence that may matter
- Official DOB/OATH property and summons records
- Dated photographs and videos
- Permits, approved plans and inspection results
- Contracts, receipts, professional letters or witness statements tied to the cited condition
Work Without a Permit — Summons 39200623X
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 14, 2026; hearing October 28, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT. OBSERVED EARTH WORK PERFORMED WITH INSTALLED GRADE BEAMS CONSISTING OF REINFORCED STEEL AND CONCRETE, AT REAR YARD OF PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMITS ON FILE FOR SCOPE OF WORK DONE. JOB IS IN AP
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.
