  1. Common NYC Buildings Violations and How to Remove Them

  2. Ensuring that all of the buildings in a city like New York are in line with building safety regulations, is no small task, and for the New York City Department of Buildings, their work is never over. Checking the construction and maintenance of thousands of structures, from homes and offices, to shops and public transport terminals, is a full-time job, and penalties are frequently issued for non-adherence to the strict rules and regulations. Below is a short guide to how Department of Buildings (DOB) violations are classified, and how you can about removing them so that your building is fully compliant:

  3. How are DOB violations classified? DOB violations are divided into classes that describe the severity of the violation, and the penalty associated with each one. Sometimes the fines can run into thousands of dollars, and are as follows: Class 1/C – this class refers to violations that are deemed hazardous, and which may cause harm to personal health, public interest, life and personal safety. Class 2/B –referring to violations that go against building codes, and might pose a threat to health, personal safety, property and public interest, this class of violation is the most common.

  4. Class 3/A – considered as lesser violations, this particular class involves non-hazardous threats, or less threat to the life or property of the building. While there are literally hundreds of ways to violate buildings code in New York City, here is a list of some of the most common: Pests and mold A pest or mold infestation is always considered to be a serious threat to public health, and unclean buildings that attract such an issue, will face stiff penalties from the DOB.

  5. An absence of smoke detectors or fire extinguishers Fire extinguishers must be present in a building as instructed by the DOB, and smoke detectors must be installed within dwelling spaces and public areas. Failure to provide adequate water temperature Water must reach a minimum temperature of 120 degrees for dwelling spaces, and the temperature inside the building, must be higher than that of the exterior temperature.

  6. If you’ve received an NYC buildings violation penalty, what should you do? Reaching out to a construction firm who specialize in removing NYC buildings violations, should be your first step, and once you’ve done so, they’ll be able to guide you throughout the entire process, as well as carry out the necessary repair work. While each violation will come with a period of time in which the issue must be fixed within, it makes no sense whatsoever to delay rectifying the problem, and if you do, your case will simply move to court.

  7. Here’s how quickly you should fix each violation: Violations to be removed immediately: these are typically Class 1 violations, and the issue must be fixed within 24 hours in order to prevent a potential loss of life. Violations to be removed within 30 days: requiring to be rectified within a 30-day period, these violations are usually classed as hazardous. Violations to be removed within 90 days: these are usually non-hazardous violations, and should be fixed within a 90-day period.
