The Department of Buildings will issue a Request for Corrective Action, rather than an OATH summons, for most violating conditions at one- and two- family homes where the owner is eligible to participate in the Homeowner Relief Program (HRP). Owners who receive a Request for Corrective Action will not receive an OATH summons if they correct the violating conditions within 60 days.
HRP Eligibility
• The property with the violating condition is a one- or two-family home; and
• The property owner has not received an OATH summons from DOB at that property in the past 5 years OR has received OATH summonses from DOB at that property in the past 5 years and those violations were dismissed by OATH or the property owner is a new owner and the OATH summonses issued at that property were issued to a previous owner; and
• The violating condition is not an illegal residential conversion under NYC Administrative Code 28-210.1 or a Class 1 (Immediately Hazardous) violation that led to death or serious injury.
