CLASS - 1 · Issued August 1, 2025; hearing October 9, 2026. · Hearing status: DEFAULT
DOB allegation in the source extract: FAILURE TO FILE A CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION AS PER REQUEST FROM THE COMMISSIONER FOR CLASS 1 WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT VIOLATION 39128597H ISSUED ON 10/28/2024, COMPLY WITH COMMISSIONER'S ORDER
Cited provision(s): 187 — 28-201.1 UNLAWFUL ACTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH AN ORDER OF THE COMMISSIONER
How this type of condition is typically resolved
This charge focuses on failure to complete or document the DOB correction process for an earlier summons. The practical task is usually to identify the underlying summons, confirm that its physical condition was actually corrected, and complete the current DOB Certificate of Correction requirements with the supporting proof and any applicable civil-penalty documentation.
Hearing issues to verify
- Was a Certificate of Correction already submitted or approved for the underlying summons before this charge was issued?
- Does DOB's record identify the same underlying summons number and correction deadline described in this citation?
- Was the physical condition actually corrected, and can that correction be tied to the cited condition rather than a different job or location?
Evidence that may matter
- DOB NOW / AEU Certificate of Correction submission or approval record
- Before-and-after photographs tied to the cited condition
- Permits, inspection results, contractor receipts or professional statements supporting the correction
- Proof of applicable DOB civil-penalty payment or waiver, if required
Work Without a Permit — Summons 39200640H
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 14, 2026; hearing October 28, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ATOI OBSERVED ONGOING INTERIOR ALTERATION AND CONSTRUCTION WORK,IN FIRST FLOOR COMMERCIAL SPACE BEARING THE SIGNAGE "MOMO HIBACHI STEAK HOUSE AND BAR" INCLUDING INSTALLATION OF NEW METAL-STUD PARTITION WALLS, I
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.
