Have you received an ECB violation notice in New York City? These violations, also known as OATH summonses, can lead to serious penalties and complications for your property. This guide will help you understand what an ECB violation is and how NYC Building Violation Removal & Expediting LLC can help you remove it quickly and efficiently.
What is an ECB (OATH) Violation?
ECB stands for Environmental Control Board. An ECB violation, issued by agencies like DOB, FDNY, or HPD, means your property may not comply with NYC codes. These violations are processed through OATH (Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings).
Common reasons include:
- Unpermitted construction or renovations
- Unsafe or hazardous building conditions
- Failure to maintain required inspections
- Improper use or occupancy
Why You Should Act Quickly
- Avoid penalties: Fines increase over time and non-compliance may lead to additional legal actions.
- Protect your investment: Open violations can prevent you from selling, refinancing, or renovating your property.
- Stay compliant: Unresolved violations can lead to DOB stop work orders or vacate notices.
How to Remove an ECB Violation
- Identify the Violation: Use the DOB BIS system to find the details of your violation.
- Correct the Condition: Hire a licensed professional to fix the issue (construction, plumbing, fire safety, etc.).
- Prepare Documentation: Collect evidence such as photos, permits, inspection reports, and affidavits.
- File a Certificate of Correction (AEU-2 Form): Submit it to DOB with all required documents before your cure date.
- Attend the OATH Hearing (if required): Present your case and documentation to avoid or reduce fines.
- Confirm BIS Updates: Ensure the violation is marked as RESOLVED on the DOB website.
