NYC rules that apply here
Based on the building’s size, age and type. These apply whether or not anything is open.
- Sidewalk shed / scaffold upAn active DOB NOW permit for a sidewalk shed, scaffold or construction fence. A shed is a monthly rental cost, and one that stays up for years usually means facade repairs are stalled. The permit has to be renewed while the shed stands; an expired shed permit is a violation.
- LL97: city / NYCHA portfolioCovered by the city’s or NYCHA’s portfolio-wide emission cuts instead of building limits.
- LL88 lightingOn DOB’s Local Law 88 list: lighting in non-residential and common spaces had to meet code by January 1, 2025 (and tenant submeters in the largest buildings), with a report to DOB.
- Gas piping inspection every four years (Local Law 152)Every building except one- and two-family homes; the year depends on the community district. Read the guide
- Energy benchmarking and Local Law 97About 27,722 sq ft, over the 25,000 sq ft line: Local Law 84 benchmarking and the Local Law 97 emissions report are due May 1 if the building is on the covered list. Read the guide
- Designated landmarkAn individual landmark: exterior work needs a permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
How NYC violations are cleared
HPD violations
Housing code violations in three classes: C (immediately hazardous, such as no heat or lead paint), B (hazardous) and A (non-hazardous). Each is closed by correcting the condition and certifying the correction to HPD within its deadline.
HPD violation classes and how to clear themDOB violations and ECB summonses
Building code items such as boilers, elevators, gas piping and facades. DOB violations block permits and Certificates of Occupancy until dismissed; ECB summonses also carry a hearing and a penalty.
How to remove a DOB violationOther OATH summonses
Sanitation, environmental, health and fire-code summonses are heard at OATH. Each has a hearing date, and a missed hearing becomes a default at the maximum penalty.
