DOB violation records

Every open ECB summons on a firm's license record, pulled together from DOB violation records into a single file. This is the practice's specialty, and it is the work behind the Open-Violation File.

What the record pull covers

For each open summons on the license record, the file records:

The violation text: what the inspector cited.
The infraction codes the summons was issued under.
The severity class, including which summonses are Class 1.
The hearing status: open, in default, or decided.
The certification status: whether a Certificate of Correction is on file.
The balance due on the summons.

Why the record matters

The Department of Buildings keeps a violation record on every licensed firm, and open ECB summonses stay on that record whether the firm knows about them or not.

Open violations can hold up permits, Certificates of Occupancy, and Letters of Completion.

A firm cannot act on summonses it has not seen. The record pull is what makes the rest of the work possible: deadlines, correction packs, and the amnesty screen all start from the complete list.
