Unlawfully continued work while notice of a stop work order.
82 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.

General DOB/OATH resolution pathway
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Applicable code context: 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.
How to test the legal elements: Determine the SWO scope, effective date, notice, precise work activity after notice, rescission history and contemporaneous jobsite evidence.
Exceptions / limits: Commissioner-authorized work to remedy a hazardous condition may be treated differently. An issued work permit by itself does not rescind an active SWO. Do not infer applicability from an export shorthand label; read the applicable code edition and the entire summons.
Scaffold platform and fall protection: field and evidence review
Identify scaffold type, working height, affected exposure, full decking, rail/toe-board/bracing and whether engineered drawings or permits were required.
Evidence: Scaffold layout, installation/inspection checklist, competent-person record, permit or approved plans if required, and dated photos of the cited platform.
Common misreading: A sidewalk shed and a scaffold are not interchangeable; their permit thresholds and protection details differ.
Before a Certificate of Correction is prepared, collect the actual summons, dated proof addressing each charged condition, any required permits/inspection evidence, and required authorized statements. The alleged inspection history is not proven by an excerpt.
