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 8, 2021.

  • Construction

    Issued Dec 8, 2021 — FAILURE TO PROVIDE APPROVED/ACCEPTED CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AT JOB SITE AT TIME OF INSPECTION. AT TIME OF INSPECTION. AT TIME OF INSPECTION OBSERVED 4 WORKERS ONGOING ON ACTIVITIES WITHOUT APPROVED PLAN AT CONSTRUCTION SITE

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 14, 2026.
