What we handle
Violations we clear.
- Records review: every open DOB violation and OATH summons on the property, explained in plain English
- DOB violations and OATH summonses, including those originally issued as ECB violations
- Certificates of Correction filed with DOB’s Administrative Enforcement Unit
- Permits and sign-offs a correction depends on, such as work done without a permit
- DOT, HPD and DEP violations on the same property
- Violations blocking a closing, refinance, new filing or Certificate of Occupancy
How it works
From open violation to resolved.
Pull the records
We search the property’s DOB and OATH records and list every open item, with what it means and what it’s holding up.
Plan each item
Some violations only need proof that the condition was fixed. Others need permits, inspections, a hearing or penalties paid first. We map the route for each one.
Correct and file
We coordinate the fix with your contractor or design professional and prepare the filings DOB requires.
Follow it through
We track each filing until the record shows it resolved, and respond if DOB raises objections.
Manhattan deadlines
Inspection windows for Manhattan buildings.
Manhattan has 12 community districts. Gas piping inspections under Local Law 152 follow the district your building is in:
| Sub-cycle | Manhattan districts | Cycle 2 | Cycle 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1, 3, 10 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2024 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2028 |
| B | 2, 5, 7 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2025 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2029 |
| C | 4, 6, 8, 9 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2026 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2030 |
| D | 11, 12 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2027 | Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2031 |
Facade inspections (FISP) for buildings taller than six stories follow the last digit of the block number instead, not the district. In a borough-block-lot (BBL) number, Manhattan is borough code 1. Use our facade cycle lookup or gas inspection lookup.
Questions
Frequently asked.
Do you handle dob violation removal in Manhattan?
Yes. We work on properties in all five boroughs, including Manhattan. Send the address and we’ll review the records and follow up.
Does it matter which Manhattan community district I’m in?
For some inspections, yes. Gas piping inspection windows are set by community district, and Manhattan has 12 of them. The table above shows the window for each.
How long does it take to remove a DOB violation?
It depends on the violation. A condition that’s already fixed and only needs proof can move relatively quickly; items that need permits, inspections or a hearing take longer. After reviewing the records we’ll give you a realistic picture for your property.
Can you tell me what’s open on my property?
Yes. That’s the first step. Send us the address and we’ll review the DOB and OATH records and walk you through what we find.
