Charge classification: law controls; keywords do not
Recorded citation: 28-105.11; recorded infraction: 220. Primary legal issue: permit-display obligation. Interpretive issue: Permit must be displayed at the worksite. AC 28-105.11 governs posting the building permit or copy at the worksite in a public-visible location during applicable work or equipment use. This differs from whether a permit was obtained.
What must be tested: Check actual permit identity, posting location, visibility, and dates. The permitted scope and display duty should not be collapsed into a general unpermitted-work charge.
Possible exceptions and legal limitations: If the work had ended or the permit had expired, establish the legally relevant display period and documented site conditions rather than presuming that an active permit automatically establishes compliance. Eligibility is not established merely because the excerpt uses a word such as “repair”, “permit”, “cellar”, or “occupied”. Refer to NYC DOB construction codes.
Specific conditions mentioned in this inspector wording
1. Permit posting at the inspection location
Investigative test: Check the identified permit was valid, its physically posted location and visibility to the public on the inspection date.
Evidence matched to this issue: Permit printout and filing history; dated wide-view photographs of the display location, worksite access and relevant posting requirement.
Boundary / potential counterexample: A genuine active permit does not alone prove it was posted; a posting charge is not proof that the work lacked approval.
Inspector wording mapped to testable facts
Passage 1 — OBSERVED: SITE CLOSED FENCE ERECTED UPON EXTERIOR INSPECTION NOTED CONSTRUCTION PERMIT NOT POSTED CONTRARY TO BUILDING CODE
This recorded passage identifies a question about permit posting at the inspection location, not a proven final determination. Check the identified permit was valid, its physically posted location and visibility to the public on the inspection date. A genuine active permit does not alone prove it was posted; a posting charge is not proof that the work lacked approval.
Identifiers, locations, measurements and chronology to verify
No uniquely parseable earlier summons number, permit number, date, exposure or measurement is established by this excerpt. The full notice and building profile should supply the missing keys; do not invent them.
Case-specific correction decision tree
Branch A — valid permit and no required display: post it as required and document the actual location, without claiming that present-day posting erases a past offense. Branch B — displayed on relevant date: obtain dated site images and witnesses to the public-visible posting location. Branch C — permit expired or scope disputed: separately investigate validity/scope without recasting the posting charge as unpermitted construction.
First targeted evidence collection: Permit printout and filing history; dated wide-view photographs of the display location, worksite access and relevant posting requirement. This is an investigative request, not a claim that the work or evidence already exists.
Editorial closure of the shortened allegation — NOT source text
The visible description does not show the same clear character-limit truncation flag, but additional pages or attachments may still exist. No editorial sentence is treated as part of the inspector’s wording.
Response, certification and closing evidence
A hearing defense, correction of the underlying condition, a DOB AEU Certificate of Correction and payment of an imposed penalty are distinct questions. Retrieve the summons and confirm the OATH hearing or outcome and DOB violation status. Under current DOB guidance, Certificate of Correction review requests are made in DOB NOW: Safety → Violations & Notices of Deficiency; submitter/certifier signatures and evidence requirements are case-specific. Refer to Certificate of Correction instructions.
Source record limitations: The dataset does not authenticate who inspected the property, why inspection started, whether a defense succeeded, which contractor made repairs or whether AEU later accepted a correction. Do not turn this example into a claimed client success story or an invented inspection history.
