Façade / Exterior Wall — Summons 39199154R
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 4, 2026; hearing October 13, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: MULTIPLE CRACKS WERE OBSERVED IN THE EXTERIOR FACADE AT EXPOSURE 2,3, AND 4. THE OBSERVED DETERIORATION INDICATES THE EXTERIOR WALLS ARE NOT BEING MAINTAINED IN A SAFE CONDITION AND REQUIRE REPAIR TO PREVENT FU
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
Work Without a Permit — Summons 39199153P
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 4, 2026; hearing October 13, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ATOI OBSERVED ERECTED WOODEN SHED ON DRIVEWAY WITHOUT THE REQUIRED PERMIT HAVING BEEN OBTAINED PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORK, CONTRARY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NYC CONSTRUCTION CODE AT EXP#02, OBTAIN PERMIT
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.
