We Handle Every Type of
NYC Building Violation
Whether it's an old violation that's been sitting on your property for years or a fresh notice — we know how to resolve it.
Work Without Permit
The most common violation in NYC. Prior work was done without proper permits. We file the required permits retroactively, complete any corrective work, and get the violation dismissed.
Illegal Conversion
Basement apartment, attic conversion, or unauthorized commercial use. We assess whether it can be legalized, file the plans and permits, and do the construction to bring it into compliance.
Sidewalk Violations
DOT sidewalk violation notices require repair within a deadline. We pull the permit, replace the flagged sections to DOT specs, schedule the inspection, and clear the violation from your record.
Unsafe / Hazardous Conditions
Structural issues, facade problems, or fire safety deficiencies. We perform the corrective work, coordinate engineering, and close out the violation with a passing inspection.
Open / Stale Permits
Old permits that were never closed out create complications at sale or refinance. We track down the original scope, complete remaining work, and get the permit signed off.
Certificate of Occupancy Issues
Missing, expired, or incorrect CO preventing you from operating or selling. We file for amendments, new COs, or temporary certificates through final issuance.

Violation Removal
in 5 Steps
We handle the entire process — from researching your violation to getting the final DOB sign-off.
Free Property Review
We pull your property's violation history from DOB BIS, review every open violation, and explain exactly what's needed to resolve each one. Free, no obligation.
Resolution Plan & Estimate
We create a clear plan — which violations need corrective work, which need paperwork only, which need ECB hearings. You'll receive an itemized estimate.
Permit Filing & Documentation
We file required permits (including after-the-fact), prepare ECB hearing documentation, and coordinate with DOB examiners.
Corrective Work
If physical work is needed — demolition of illegal work, bringing conditions to code, structural repairs — our crew performs it to DOB standards.
Inspection & Dismissal
We schedule the DOB re-inspection, are on-site when the inspector arrives, and follow through until the violation is officially resolved in the city's system.
What Happens If You Ignore a DOB Violation?
Many property owners don't realize the consequences until they try to sell, refinance, or pull permits for new work.
- ECB fines accumulate daily and can reach tens of thousands of dollars
- Open violations can block new permit applications for any work on the property
- Title companies flag violations during real estate transactions — deals fall through
- Liens can be placed on your property for unpaid ECB judgments
- Insurance claims can be denied for work done without permits
