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 — ATOI, OBSERVED AT PREMISES ADDRESS, PERMIT # Q00849958-I1-EL ARE NOT POSTED AT PREMISES.
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.
Passage 2 — PERMITS ARE NOT POSTED AT SITE OR ANYWHERE ON THE PREMISES FOR PUBLIC VIEWING.
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.
Passage 3 — AS PER DOB RECORDS, PERMITS ARE ACTIVE AND
Treat this passage as an asserted observation or reference. Check the named location, actor, object and time against contemporaneous photos and official filing records before drawing a regulatory conclusion.
Identifiers, locations, measurements and chronology to verify
- Job, permit or filing identifier: Q00849958-I1-EL
- Query the exact application/permit; compare the authorized work description with inspection observations, dates and sign-off.
- Device or control number: RECORDS
- Use the record number as a lookup key, then verify it corresponds to this physical device or location.
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
Verbatim excerpt ends: “POSTED AT SITE OR ANYWHERE ON THE PREMISES FOR PUBLIC VIEWING. AS PER DOB RECORDS, PERMITS ARE ACTIVE AND”. Non-source editorial completion (conditional reconstruction, not a quotation): “The allegation appears to concern permit posting at the inspection location; whether additional observations, directions, dates, measurements or exceptions followed is unknown and must be checked in the original summons.”
No missing words, dates, measurements, liability conclusion or regulatory remedy have been invented. Even if the final syllable looks obvious, completing it as a purported inspector quotation would misstate an official record.
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.
