Work Without a Permit — Summons 39176282J
CLASS - 1 · Issued February 5, 2026; hearing October 30, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: PARTIAL VACATE ISSUED FOR WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT ON FILE AT TIME OF INSPECTION OBSERVED STEEL BALCONY ON THE THIRD FLOOR EXTENDED OUT AT EXPOSURE ONE APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET LONG BY 10 FEET WIDE MADE OF C CHANNELS
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
Other Building / Code Compliance — Summons 39176285P
CLASS - 2 · Issued February 5, 2026; hearing October 30, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: AT TIME OF INSPECTION OBSERVED FAILURE TO CONDUCT FINAL INSPECTION OF PERMITTED WORK WITH THE DEPT OF BUILDINGS JOB 310244161-01-AL EXPIRES ON 12/01/2010 ITS REQUIRED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF PER
Cited provision(s): 2G1 — 28-116.2.4.2 FAIL TO CONDUCT/FILE A FINAL INSPECTION OF PERMITTED WORK WITH THE DEP
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
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.
