Charge classification: law controls; keywords do not
Recorded citation: 28-204.4; recorded infraction: 263. Primary legal issue: certificate-filing order. Interpretive issue: Failure to file Certificate of Correction as ordered. AC 28-204.4 addresses compliance with the Commissioner’s order to file a Certificate of Correction. It is a documentary/enforcement duty tied to an underlying notice, not a new stand-alone finding that the underlying construction defect is still physically present.
What must be tested: Identify the earlier summons/order, required filing and deadline, then obtain DOB AEU history. Verify whether correction, submission and acceptance occurred by the relevant date.
Possible exceptions and legal limitations: Evidence of physical repairs is not automatically proof of an accepted certificate. Conversely, the later charge does not by itself establish that the earlier physical condition persists. Eligibility is not established merely because the excerpt uses a word such as “repair”, “permit”, “cellar”, or “occupied”. Refer to Certificate of Correction instructions.
Specific conditions mentioned in this inspector wording
1. Earlier order and correction filing

Evidence matched to this issue: Earlier summons and any linked violation history; DOB AEU request status, submission receipt, accepted/disapproved notices and photographs of each corrected item.
Boundary / potential counterexample: Do not mistake a reference to work listed on the old summons for a fresh finding of the same hazardous condition.

Case-specific correction decision tree
Branch A — earlier condition corrected but no accepted filing: assemble the prior summons, dated correction proof, applicable certification form and attestation, and determine whether AEU accepted or rejected a request before the charged date. Branch B — underlying condition still exists: address safety and corrective work separately, then file the proper evidence. Branch C — filing existed: preserve confirmation numbers, filing timestamps, agency review outcomes and the exact order cited to evaluate the new charge.
First targeted evidence collection: Earlier summons and any linked violation history; DOB AEU request status, submission receipt, accepted/disapproved notices and photographs of each corrected item. 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.
