§ 102-01 — Violation Classification and Certification of Correction.

§ 102-01 Violation Classification and Certification of Correction.

RCNY § 102-01

(a)Pursuant to § 28-204.1 of the Administrative Code, any person who shall violate or fail to comply with any provision or provisions of law enforced by the Department or with any order issued pursuant thereto shall be liable for a civil penalty that may be recovered in a proceeding before the Environmental Control Board ("ECB"). Such proceeding shall be commenced by service of a notice of violation ("NOV") returnable before the board. Such notice of violation may be issued by employees of the Department or of other city agencies designated by the Commissioner and may be served by such employees or by a licensed process server.

(b)Classification of violations. For purposes of classifying violations pursuant to § 28-201.2 of the Administrative Code, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (1) IMMEDIATELY HAZARDOUS VIOLATION. Immediately hazardous violations are those specified as such by the New York City Construction Codes, or those where the violating condition poses a threat that severely affects life, health, safety, property, the public interest, or a significant number of persons so as to warrant immediate corrective action, or, with respect to outdoor advertising, those where the violation and penalty are necessary as an economic disincentive to the continuation or the repetition of the violating condition. Immediately hazardous violations shall be denominated as Class 1 violations.

(2)MAJOR VIOLATION. Major violations are those specified as such by the New York City Construction Codes or those where the violating condition affects life, health, safety, property, or the public interest but does not require immediate corrective action, or, with respect to outdoor advertising, those where the violation and penalty are appropriate as an economic disincentive to the continuation or the repetition of the violating condition. Major violations shall be denominated as Class 2 violations.

(3)LESSER VIOLATION. Lesser violations are those where the violating condition has a lesser effect than an immediately hazardous (Class 1) or major violation (Class 2) on life, health, safety, property, or the public interest. Lesser violations shall be denominated as Class 3 violations.

(c)Correction and certification of correction.

(1)Each NOV issued by the Commissioner shall contain an order of the Commissioner directing the respondent to correct the condition constituting the violation and to file a certification with the Department that the condition has been corrected.

(4)The required certification forms shall be obtained from the Department in accordance with the instructions contained in the NOV.

(5)The respondent must appear at the ECB hearing for all violating conditions unless those charges are cured or a pre-hearing stipulation is offered, timely accepted by the respondent, and approved in writing by ECB. Where more than one violation of law is listed on the same NOV, the respondent must submit a single certification covering all of the violating conditions.

(6)The certification shall be signed by one with personal knowledge of the correction of the violating condition and notarized by a notary public or commissioner of deeds.

(7)The certification shall be accompanied by true and legible copies of any and all documentary proof of compliance.

(8)The completed certification must be submitted to the Department in a form and manner provided on the Department’s website at nyc.gov/buildings.

(9)For violations classified as Class 3 or for those Class 2 violations eligible for a cure, respondents may avoid a hearing by submitting a certification of correction acceptable to and received by the Department no later than sixty days from the date of service of the NOV. For violations classified as Class 1, a certification acceptable to the Department must be received by the Department forthwith.

(10)Failure to submit an acceptable certification for all violating conditions indicated on the NOV on a Department of Buildings form within the time period prescribed in paragraph (9) of this subdivision shall require the respondent to appear at a hearing at ECB on the date indicated on the NOV. If no certificate of correction is received within the time period prescribed in paragraph (9) of this subdivision, the respondent is also subject to issuance of a violation for failure to certify correction and the imposition of civil penalties as defined in § 28-202.1 of the Administrative Code.

(d)Mitigated and zero penalties. Mitigated or zero penalties are available in the following circumstances under the following conditions.

(e)Certificate of correction review procedures.

(f)Aggravated penalties. Aggravated penalties may be imposed with the following provisions. Notice of aggravated penalties may either be set forth in the NOV or otherwise provided to the respondent prior to the date of the first scheduled hearing at ECB.

(iv)For purposes of this section, "in violation" shall mean to be adjudged in violation of any law or rule enforced by the Department following a hearing, to admit the charge, or to sign a stipulation agreement either at or before a hearing before any administrative or judicial tribunal. Failure to appear at a hearing leading to entry of a default order or judgment shall also be deemed a finding "in violation." (g) Additional Daily and Monthly Penalties. Additional daily penalties may be imposed in connection with certain continuing and uncorrected Class 1 violations. Additional monthly penalties may be imposed in connection with certain continuing and uncorrected Class 2 violations. If the Department seeks such penalties in connection with a particular Class 1 or Class 2 charge, that will be indicated on the NOV. Such daily or monthly penalties, if applicable, are in addition to the set, flat-amount penalty that also is indicated in the Buildings Penalty Schedule as applicable to the type of violation in question taking into account the classification level and Aggravated level of the particular violation. Imposition of such additional daily and monthly penalties is authorized pursuant to § 28-202.1 of the New York City Administrative Code.

(h)Applicability. On and after July 1, 2008 any work performed without a required permit will be presumed subject to enforcement under the New York City Construction Codes. Thus, the option afforded by § 28-101.4 to use the either the 1968 Building Code or the New York City Construction Codes applies only to work for which an application is filed with the Department. If and when the work is the subject of an application to legalize, the option will be available once again.

(i)Legal References. The legal references referred to in the table below, which reflect the classification of violations and the Penalty Schedule, include the following: (1) Title 28 of the New York City (NYC) Administrative Code. References to Title 28 of the NYC Administrative Code begin with "28-" (for example, "28-201.1"). The citation "28-Misc." refers to provisions of Title 28 that are not specifically designated elsewhere in the table.

(11)2011 EC code. References to the 2011 EC code pertain to Chapter 3 of Title 27 of the NYC Administrative Code effective on July 1, 2011 and any applicable subsequent amendments.

(12)2025 EC code. References to the 2025 EC code pertain to the Electrical Code effective December 21, 2025.

(j)Reduction of Default Penalties upon Proof of Compliance. With the exception of daily penalties charged under § 28-202.1 of the Administrative Code for continued Class 1 violations of §§ 28-210.1 or 28-210.3 of the Administrative Code, any imposed Default Penalty, Aggravated l Default Penalty or Aggravated II Default Penalty will be reduced by one-half (1/2) or to the standard penalty amount, whichever is greater, after: (1) Respondent files an acceptable certificate of correction with the Department; and (2) ECB receives notification from the Department of its acceptance of such certificate of correction.

(k)Classification of particular violations. The table below sets forth the penalties imposed in connection with Summonses, as defined in 48 RCNY § 6-01, and/or Notices of Violation returnable to ECB that are issued on or after July 1, 2008.
