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. Boiler device inspection and filing

Investigative test: Determine whether the alleged defect is missing periodic inspection/report, a physical unsafe condition or unpermitted replacement; link the device identifier to the required inspection cycle.

Evidence matched to this issue: Boiler device/installation record, agency filing receipt, inspector qualification, report and any affirmation-of-correction documentation.

Boundary / potential counterexample: A physical tune-up invoice is not a filed annual boiler inspection report, and filing alone does not resolve a real hazard.

2. Construction fencing or site enclosure

Investigative test: Measure the identified fence/gate location and condition against approved site logistics and public-protection plan.

Evidence matched to this issue: Approved site plan, height/length photographs, gate hardware review, worksite boundaries and contractor verification.

Boundary / potential counterexample: Fence obligation depends on the operation and site conditions; confirm current rule before stating a universal height.

Inspector wording mapped to testable facts

Passage 1 — AT TIME OF INSPECTION OBSERVED CONSTRUCTION FENCE INSTALLED AT EXP1,2,4.

This recorded passage identifies a question about construction fencing or site enclosure, not a proven final determination. Measure the identified fence/gate location and condition against approved site logistics and public-protection plan. Fence obligation depends on the operation and site conditions; confirm current rule before stating a universal height.

Passage 2 — OBSERVED NO POSTED ACTIVE WORK PERMIT AT EXP1 FRONTING A PUBLIC THOROUGHFARE.

The negative/deficiency wording is an inspector allegation about a missing, failed or unsafe condition. Determine precisely which component, obligation and time period the asserted absence covers. The supporting documents must establish or rebut the condition on the offense date, not merely its condition today.

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: Boiler device/installation record, agency filing receipt, inspector qualification, report and any affirmation-of-correction documentation. 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.
