Charge classification: law controls; keywords do not

Recorded citation: 28-207.2.2; recorded infraction: 112. Primary legal issue: stop-work-order violation. Interpretive issue: Work in violation of a Stop Work Order. AC 28-207.2.2 prohibits continuing, authorizing or facilitating work covered by a Stop Work Order with knowledge or notice of the order.

What must be tested: Determine the SWO scope, effective date, notice, precise work activity after notice, rescission history and contemporaneous jobsite evidence.

Possible exceptions and legal limitations: Commissioner-authorized work to remedy a hazardous condition may be treated differently. An issued work permit by itself does not rescind an active SWO. Eligibility is not established merely because the excerpt uses a word such as “repair”, “permit”, “cellar”, or “occupied”. Refer to DOB Stop Work Orders.

Specific conditions mentioned in this inspector wording

Inspector wording mapped to testable facts

Passage 1 — AT TIME OF INSPECTION OBSERVED TWO MALE WORKERS WORKING ON ROOF EXTENSION.

This recorded passage identifies a question about roof and weather protection, not a proven final determination. Identify roof surface, drainage path, penetration and whether the alleged defect affects structure, exits, occupied rooms or adjacent properties. Not every patch requires an identical permit; ordinary-repair exemption and technical requirements must be tested against scope.

Passage 2 — ACTIVE STOP WORK ORDER WAS ISSUED ON 8/19/2026., COMPLY WITH STOP WORK ORDER

This recorded passage identifies a question about stop-work-order scope and continued activity, not a proven final determination. Map the limits of the order and the precise trade/operation allegedly continuing after effective notice. A permit does not lift the SWO; evaluate narrow authorization for emergency protection separately.

Identifiers, locations, measurements and chronology to verify

Cited calendar date: 8/19/2026

Check whether this is a permit expiry, previous summons issuance, reinspection or compliance deadline; each has a different consequence.

Identified floor: ROOF

Tie inspection photographs to the stated level, approved floor plan, egress route, and actual room use.

Case-specific correction decision tree

Branch A — covered work continued after notice: stop it and address any immediate danger; document cessation and seek lawful SWO rescission. Branch B — alleged activity falls outside the order: compare location/trade against the signed order. Branch C — emergency work is asserted: produce explicit Commissioner authorization and contemporaneous safety records, not just a contractor invoice.

First targeted evidence collection: Actual posted/order document, service/notice history, contemporaneous activity photos, job logs and rescission status. 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.
