Work Without a Permit — Summons 39200952R
CLASS - 2 · Issued August 18, 2026; hearing October 27, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: RCA ISSUED 03/31/25 SAME RESPONDENT NOT CORRECTED WORK W/OUT PERMIT DIRECTLY IN FRONT CURB CUT SO THAT PORTION OF SIDEWALK IS LOWERED ENABLING VEHICLE TO DRIVE ONTO AN ILLEGAL OFF STREET FRONT YARD ACCESSORY PA
Cited provision(s): 201 — 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

Cited provision(s): 284 — ZR-MISC MISCELLANEOUS VIOLATIONS OF THE ZONING RESOLUTION
How this type of condition is typically resolved
Zoning charges require comparing the observed use, parking arrangement or physical condition to the applicable zoning district, lawful occupancy and any prior approvals or variances. Correction can mean stopping the use, restoring required parking, or pursuing a lawful approval if available.
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

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 3 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.
