Work Without a Permit — Summons 39198938K
CLASS - 2 · Issued August 3, 2026; hearing October 14, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ATOI, OBSERVED IN LOBBY/ RECEPTION AREA, ADA RAMP INSTALLED/ COMPLETED WITH HEAVY GAUGE METAL, STRUCTURAL STEEL AND KICK PLATE OVER TENANT/ PEDESTRIAN STAIRWAY. WORK WAS DONE WITHOUT ANY JOB FILINGS OR PERMITS
Cited provision(s): 201 — 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 5 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.
