If your property in NYC receives a vacancy order, it means that the Department of Buildings (DOB) has deemed the building unsafe or unfit for occupancy. A vacancy order is issued when a building is found to have conditions that pose an imminent threat to the safety of its occupants or the public. 

The first step in addressing a vacancy order is to address the safety concerns that led to the order in the first place. This may involve making required repairs or modifications to the building to ensure that it is safe for occupancy.

Once you have addressed the safety concerns, you will need to schedule an inspection with the DOB. The inspector will visit your property to verify that the safety concerns have been addressed and that the building can be occupied safely. If the inspector determines that the building is safe for occupancy, they will issue a certificate of occupancy. This certificate will need to be submitted to the DOB to show that the building is now safe for occupancy.

You will need to submit the certificate of occupancy to the DOB to show that the building is now safe for occupancy. This can be done online through the DOB’s website or in person at a DOB borough office.

If the vacancy order was issued due to violations, you may also need to address any fines or penalties associated with the violation. The amount of the fine or penalty will depend on the severity of the violation.

to address a vacancy order in NYC, you will need to address the safety concerns, schedule an inspection, obtain a certificate of occupancy, submit the certificate to the DOB, and address any fines or penalties associated with the violation. It is important to take prompt action to address the safety concerns and ensure that your property is safe for occupancy.
