Serving all five boroughs
We work with owners in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Building types and project histories vary widely across the boroughs, but violations are issued and resolved through the same city agencies.
NYC DOB violations and permits
The NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) issues violations for conditions that do not comply with the city's Construction Codes and Zoning Resolution, and it oversees the permits and inspections tied to construction work. Some violations are adjudicated separately, so it matters to read exactly what was issued and by whom.
We help you organize the cited conditions against your permit and filing history so corrective work and any required filings happen in a sensible order. DOB retains authority over permits, inspections, and whether a violation is resolved.

What to gather before we talk
- The violation, order, or citation, including any number and response date
- Existing permits, approved plans, and inspection results
- Photos of the work area and current site conditions
- Contractor, architect, or engineer contacts tied to the project
- Purchase or ownership records if the work predates you
How we organize corrective action
- Review each cited item and confirm what the agency is asking for
- Compare cited conditions with permit history and records
- Sequence corrections, filings, and inspections into a clear plan
- Coordinate the right licensed professionals for the work
- Keep documentation organized for the next agency review
Our role, and the agency's role
Permit Violations is an independent property-services partner, not a government agency. We help you understand what a violation asks for, gather records, and organize corrective work with qualified professionals.
The local building department alone decides whether permits are issued, inspections pass, and violations are cleared. We do not guarantee approvals or outcomes, and contacting us does not establish legal representation. For legal questions, consult an attorney.
