If you have received a violation from the NYC Department of Buildings on your property, there are a few steps you can take to resolve it.

Review the violation: Please read the violation notice carefully and make sure you understand why you are being cited. Write down the date, time and place of the violation. Once you understand the violation, take the necessary steps to correct it. This may involve making repairs, obtaining a permit, or addressing any other issue mentioned in the notice.

Contact the Department of Buildings: Once you have corrected the violation, contact the Department of Buildings to request an inspection. They will send an inspector to verify that the violation has been corrected.

If the violation is not resolved or the Department of Buildings does not accept your correction, you may be required to attend a hearing. You will receive notice of the date and time of the hearing. At the hearing, you can present evidence and argue your case.

Hire a Professional: Depending on the nature of the violation, you may need to hire a licensed professional, such as an architect or engineer, to help you resolve the issue. They can provide guidance on how to correct the violation and ensure the work is done to code. 

It is important to take violations seriously and address them immediately, as failure to do so can result in additional fines and penalties.
