DOB allegation in the source extract: ATOI OBSERVED UNPERMITTED EXPOSED HAZARDOUS ELEC WIRING/RECEPTACLES/UNCOVERED OUTLETS & ELECTRICAL PANEL, UNSAFE ELEC DEVICES IN PLACE & IN USE AT CELLAR & 1ST FLR COMMERCIAL SPACE. ROMEX WIRING INSTALLED AT CO
Cited provision(s): 1D2 — EC 110.2(A) UNAPPROVED/UNSAFE/UNSUITABLE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OR WIRING IN USE
How this type of condition is typically resolved
Electrical charges generally require determining whether the cited installation was permitted and performed under the required licensed-electrical process, then correcting unsafe or unapproved work and obtaining any required inspection/acceptance.
Hearing issues to verify
- Was there an active electrical application/permit covering the cited wiring or equipment?
- Was the condition already corrected or disconnected before the inspection date?
- Does the cited equipment/location match the permitted scope and electrical inspection record?
Evidence that may matter
- Electrical permit/application and inspection records
- Licensed electrician invoice, letter or work order
- Photographs of wiring/equipment before and after correction
- Testing, certification or utility documentation where relevant
Work Without a Permit — Summons 39146991P
CLASS - 1 · Issued May 3, 2025; hearing October 6, 2026. · Hearing status: DEFAULT
DOB allegation in the source extract: UNPERMITTED/UNDOCUMENTED ALTERATIONS MADE TO EXISTING GAS & WATER PLUMBING SYSTEMS. 2 SINKS W/ NEW HOT&COLD WATER SUPPLIES AT 1ST FLR HAIR SALON. TWO NEW (2-PC)BATHROOMS WITH SINKS & TOILETS INSTALLED AT CELLAR
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 39146993Z
CLASS - 1 · Issued May 3, 2025; hearing October 6, 2026. · Hearing status: DEFAULT
DOB allegation in the source extract: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN EXTERIOR OF PROPERTY IN CODE COMPLIANT MANNER. SIDEWALK BILCO DOORS ALTERED/CUT AT ACTIVE PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK, EXTERIOR AWNING/SIGNAGE IN STATE OF DISREPAIR AT EXPO-1 & EXPO-2 FACADE, REPAIR
Cited provision(s): 102 — 28-301.1 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BLDG IN CODE-COMPLIANT MANNER
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 3 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.
