Work Without a Permit — Summons 39193126M
CLASS - 1 · Issued June 18, 2026; hearing October 13, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING

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

Hearing issues to verify
- Is the cited zoning district/use classification correct for this lot?
- Was the alleged use actually occurring on the issue date?
- Is there a prior BSA/CPC/DOB approval, variance or grandfathered condition relevant to the charge?
Evidence that may matter
- Zoning map and ZOLA/property records
- Certificate of Occupancy / approved plans
- Survey or parking layout
- Prior approvals, variances, permits and dated photographs
Case-specific next step
For this property, the first paid review should reconcile the 4 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.
