| Agency or issue | What it may involve | What to gather |
|---|---|---|
| DOB | Building, construction, zoning, permit, Stop Work Order, or Certificate of Correction matters. | DOB number, notice, photos, plans, permit history, contractor information. |
| ECB/OATH | Administrative summonses, hearings, penalties, or correction proof. | Summons, hearing date, alleged condition, photos, correction documents. |
| HPD | Housing maintenance conditions and tenant-related property violations. | HPD printout, repair proof, tenant/building details, photos. |
| FDNY | Fire-safety notices, inspection issues, or compliance documentation. | FDNY notice, inspection report, photos, contractor or licensed professional details. |
| DOT/Sidewalk | Sidewalk, curb, street opening, or right-of-way conditions. | DOT notice, location photos, repair proposal, property frontage details. |
Step 2: Do Not Guess the Filing
Many violations require a specific correction sequence. Some need physical repair first, some need professional plans or sign-off, some need hearing response, and others require agency record cleanup. Filing the wrong document can delay clearance and create unnecessary costs.
Step 3: Check for Closing or Title Deadlines
If the issue appears during a sale, refinance, transfer, or insurance review, deadlines matter. Realtors, title companies, property managers, and attorneys should send the title report excerpt, open-permit list, violation number, and closing timeline as early as possible.
Step 4: Confirm the Borough and Property Type
AM Expediting serves Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The property type, occupancy, work history, and borough records can affect the correct strategy.
Step 5: Keep Proof of Every Correction
Photos, invoices, licensed professional letters, permits, plans, certificates, correspondence, and agency confirmations are important. Keep the correction package organized so the final Certificate of Correction or agency response can be supported.
