Violation record

Are there open violations here?

The Department of Buildings has 1 open notice on record for this building, out of 3 notices on file; the most recent was issued Dec 24, 2025.

  • Construction

    Issued Dec 24, 2025 — AT TIME OF INSPECTION, OBSERVED UNPERMITTED WORK FOR VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL EXTENSION. WORK HAS NOT BEEN PERMITTED TO PROCEED CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD TO STABILITY OF THE BUILDING. ENGINEERING REPORT TO BE SUBMITTED WITHIN 5 DAYS.

A violation is a notice the Department of Buildings recorded against the building. It is not a judgment, and many concern paperwork rather than safety. Open means the agency has not recorded a resolution, which is not the same as the problem still existing. From NYC Department of Buildings, DOB Violations (3h2n-5cm9), accessed Sep 9, 2026.
