What We Do
DOB failure-to-maintain violations — commonly triggered by 311 complaints — cover broken facades, damaged stairs, loose bricks, rotting wood, and unsafe structures. We assess, correct, and obtain DOB sign-off quickly to stop fines from accumulating.
Failure-to-maintain violations are among the most common — and most overlooked — DOB violations in NYC. They accumulate daily fines at ECB and, if ignored, can escalate to emergency orders and city-funded repairs billed to the owner at inflated rates. Our team performs a comprehensive property assessment, photographs all conditions, prioritizes repairs by severity, and executes the work quickly so you can close out the violation before the ECB default date.
