CLASS - 2 · Issued July 21, 2026; hearing October 7, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: SUMMONS ISSUED FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COMMISSIONER'S ORDER TO FILE A CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS. AT TIME OF INSPECTION, NO CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION FILED FOR SUMMONS #39165545Z

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
Failure to Maintain — Summons 39201454Z
CLASS - 2 · Issued August 22, 2026; hearing October 28, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BUILDING IN CODE COMPLIANT MANNER. AT TIME OF INSPECTION OBSERVED AT APARTMENT 1B BASEMENT LEVEL WITH WATER PENETRATION PUDDLING, IN LIVING ROOM, BATHROOM & HALL AWAY FROM DRAIN IN EXTERIOR
Cited provision(s): 202 — 28-301.1 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BLDG IN CODE-COMPLIANT MANNER
How this type of condition is typically resolved
Failure-to-maintain charges are fact-specific. The owner should identify the exact building component or service equipment cited, repair the condition, and document the repair with evidence tied to the inspection location/date.
Hearing issues to verify
- Does the description accurately identify the component, location and condition?
- Was the condition already repaired or not present when the summons was issued?
- Was another party responsible for maintenance under facts that are legally relevant to the respondent's liability?
Evidence that may matter
- Dated before/after photographs
- Repair invoices and contractor statements
- Professional inspection/report when structural or technical conditions are involved
- Maintenance logs and prior inspection records
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.
