What OATH/ECB actually charges for a violation — the official agency penalty schedules, deep-linked to the source rules.
A note from our founder
We share what we know.
This site is a working legal resource — a data-driven library of guides and articles with deep links into the actual sections of law and penalty schedules that govern NYC property and business. We make it freely available because informed clients make better decisions.
It is not legal advice, and the law changes. Always confirm against the official city, state, or federal sources before you rely on a statute.
— Michael Nacmias, Founding Partner
