Notice of Violations- (Format 012345678L)
When it comes to FDNY violations via OATH, it’s not enough to attend the hearing and pay any issued fines. A Certificate of Correction must be submitted to the issuing agency, otherwise, the violation will remain open. Failure to submit a Certificate of Correction can result in additional fines, trouble getting new work permits or a Certificate of Occupancy, or issues during a transaction/refinance.
How do I correct a Notice of Violation?
-
If a cure date is offered (first offense), submit a Certificate of Correction to the FDNY in advance of the cure date
- If accepted, you can avoid a hearing and any potential fines (unless the hearing is required, as noted on the violation).
-
Additionally, FDNY has a designated email that respondents may use to verify that their cures were properly processed by deadline. This will also let you know if the named respondent is still required to attend the OATH hearing. Respondents may email CureLetterVerification@fdny.nyc.gov with the subject line of the email as "Cure Verification Unit" to inquire with FDNY's administrative enforcement unit
- If there is no cure date, you will need to attend the ECB hearing, pay any subsequent fines, and still submit the Certificate of Correction to the FDNY
