23 citations in October 12 sample

This label is taken from an enforcement-data export and may be an abbreviated citation, combined citation, historical-code reference or general category. It is not a substitute for the actual legal text or full DOB notice.

What the dataset shows

Across the export, this law label appears with multiple enforcement narratives. The legal section alone may not tell you whether a condition concerns equipment, unsafe maintenance, a change in occupancy, missing filings or work without authorization. Review the original inspector description and applicable code edition before selecting a remedy.

19 allegations in this data subset. Description is too broad to infer a specific correction without the full summons.

These are separate infraction identifiers observed alongside this law section, not interchangeable substitutes for the cited statute.

General DOB/OATH resolution pathway

  1. Identify the controlling documents. Locate the actual summons, inspector narrative, cited rule, OATH hearing date and any related DOB orders. The same code label can cover distinct situations.
  2. Address immediate risks. If the condition poses a safety threat or is subject to a stop-work or vacate order, comply with applicable restrictions and obtain appropriate professional assistance promptly.
  3. Select a supportable corrective approach. That may involve stopping a use, repairing or removing unauthorized work, obtaining permits, inspections or professional evaluation. Legalization is not assured.
  4. Separate hearing response from DOB correction. Respond to OATH as required. A payment or hearing outcome does not automatically establish that all DOB correction requirements are satisfied.
  5. Document and certify correction. Where required, submit the Certificate of Correction through DOB NOW: Safety → Violations & Notices of Deficiency, including the proper attestations and applicable evidence. Monitor DOB status after submission.
