NYC Department of Buildings Violation Types

The Department of Buildings prints a letter code inside the violation number. These are the 27 codes on the Department’s types page, grouped by those letters. Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 are severity, not extra types. The class is printed on the notice.

S & M Expediting researches the notice, files the certificate of correction, follows the filing, and can appear at the hearing. A licensed professional does the corrective work. See violation removal, or call 718-833-2333.
