Illegal Occupancy / Conversion — Summons 39198960R
CLASS - 2 · Issued August 4, 2026; hearing October 13, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: OCCUPANCY CONTRARY TO DEPT. RECORDS RESPONDENT PREVIOUSLY ISSUED SUMMONS 39183434P & HAS FAILED TO MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS (DISCONTINUE ILLEGAL USE OR AMEND C/O) & COMPLY W/ CODE. LOT STILL BEING USED AS AN ILLEGA
Cited provision(s): 203 — 28-118.3.2 OCC CONTRARY TO THAT ALLOWED BY THE C OF O OR DOB RECORDS
How this type of condition is typically resolved
The key question is whether the observed occupancy or layout matches the lawful use of the premises. Resolution may require restoring the prior lawful layout/use or, when legally feasible, filing plans and obtaining approvals to legalize the condition.
Hearing issues to verify
- What use and number of dwelling/occupancy units are shown by the Certificate of Occupancy, Schedule of Occupancy or other lawful-use records?
- Did the inspector accurately identify how the space was being used on the cited date?
- Was the cited space actually occupied as alleged, or were the observed beds, kitchens, locks or partitions consistent with another lawful use?
- Is there an approved filing or historical record supporting the present use?
Evidence that may matter
- Certificate of Occupancy / Schedule of Occupancy and approved plans
- Historic occupancy records, permits and prior approved layouts
- Dated photographs and floor plans
- Leases, tenant records or sworn statements concerning actual use
- Permits/inspection records if the condition was legalized or restored

Cited provision(s): 102 — 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

Cited provision(s): 205 — ZR 22-00 ILLEGAL USE IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
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
Other Building / Code Compliance — Summons 39186862P
CLASS - 1 · Issued May 1, 2026; hearing October 20, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: BUILDING/OPEN LOT OCCUPIED W/OUT VALID CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, VACANT LOT ILLEGALLY USED AS TOW YARD SEVERAL VEHICLES PARKED/STORED ENTIRE LOT FILLED SOME DAMAGED, JOB#420335818 FILED BY RESPONDENTS DISAPPROV
Cited provision(s): 107 — 28-118.2 NEW BLDG OR LOT OCCUPIED W/O A VALID C OF O
How this type of condition is typically resolved
The first step is to read the inspector's narrative together with every cited code section and determine exactly what act, condition or missing filing DOB alleges. The correction and hearing strategy should then be built around that specific charge rather than a generic violation-removal checklist.
Hearing issues to verify
- Does the summons identify the correct property, respondent, date and observed condition?
- Do agency records support or contradict the inspector's description?
- Was the condition corrected, permitted or otherwise resolved before the hearing?
Evidence that may matter
- Official DOB/OATH property and summons records
- Dated photographs and videos
- Permits, approved plans and inspection results
- Contracts, receipts, professional letters or witness statements tied to the cited condition
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.
