Work Without a Permit — Summons 39195992H
CLASS - 1 · Issued July 14, 2026; hearing October 7, 2026. · Hearing status: PENDING
DOB allegation in the source extract: UNLAWFUL ACTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COMMISSIONER'S ORDER. FOR WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT FOR VIO#39170197H. NO PERMIT ON FILE AS OF 7/14/2026., COMPLY WITH COMMISSIONER'S ORDER
Cited provision(s): 187 — 28-201.1 UNLAWFUL ACTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH AN ORDER OF THE COMMISSIONER
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

- 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- Was the Stop Work Order already rescinded or modified before the activity alleged in the summons?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

How this type of condition is typically resolved
This charge focuses on failure to complete or document the DOB correction process for an earlier summons. The practical task is usually to identify the underlying summons, confirm that its physical condition was actually corrected, and complete the current DOB Certificate of Correction requirements with the supporting proof and any applicable civil-penalty documentation.
Hearing issues to verify
- Was a Certificate of Correction already submitted or approved for the underlying summons before this charge was issued?
- Does DOB's record identify the same underlying summons number and correction deadline described in this citation?
- Was the physical condition actually corrected, and can that correction be tied to the cited condition rather than a different job or location?
Evidence that may matter
- DOB NOW / AEU Certificate of Correction submission or approval record
- Before-and-after photographs tied to the cited condition
- Permits, inspection results, contractor receipts or professional statements supporting the correction
- Proof of applicable DOB civil-penalty payment or waiver, if required

Case-specific next step
For this property, the first paid review should reconcile the 5 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.
