Work Without a Permit — Summons 39201323Z
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 20, 2026; hearing October 27, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: PSWO ISSUED FOR WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT ATOI OBSERVED A STRUCTURE BEING BUILT12 FEET IN HEIGHT, BY 24 FEET WIDTH,AND 32 FEET IN LENGTH USING 2X4 WOOD FRAMING AND PLYWOOD SHEATHING, COMPLY WITH STOP WORK ORDER
Cited provision(s): 112 — 28-207.2.2 UNLAWFULLY CONTINUED WORK WHILE NOTICE OF A STOP WORK ORDER
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
Stop Work Order — Summons 39201344H
CLASS - 1 · Issued August 20, 2026; hearing October 27, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: ATOI OBSERVED WORK BEING DONE AGAINST A STOP WORK ORDER ,FAILURE TO OBEY PSWO, COMPLY WITH STOP WORK ORDER
Cited provision(s): 112 — 28-207.2.2 UNLAWFULLY CONTINUED WORK WHILE NOTICE OF A STOP WORK ORDER
How this type of condition is typically resolved
An active Stop Work Order has to be treated separately from the underlying summons. The cited unsafe or unpermitted condition must be corrected or legalized, required permits/penalties addressed, and the issuing agency must formally rescind or modify the order before prohibited work resumes.
Hearing issues to verify
- What exact work was covered by the Stop Work Order: all work or only part of the project?
- Was the activity observed after the order actually prohibited work, or was it authorized safety / emergency / corrective work?
- Was the Stop Work Order already rescinded or modified before the activity alleged in the summons?
Evidence that may matter
- Copy of the Stop Work Order and any rescission/modification notice
- DOB permit records and inspector correspondence
- Daily logs, photographs and contractor records showing when work stopped or resumed
- Evidence identifying any limited corrective/safety work performed
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.
