What is “Failure to Comply?
When the NYC Department of Buildings sends you a Notice of Violation (NOV), they give you a specific time frame to fix the problem. The time depends on how serious the violation is:
- Class 1 violations (most serious): Typically 5-10 days
- Class 2 violations (moderate): Typically 30 days
- Class 3 violations (minor): Typically up to 1 year
If you don’t fix the problem within that time period, you’ve committed “Failure to Comply.”
What happens?
- You face additional penalties and fines
- Penalties can reach $25,000
- The violation stays active on your record
- You may face legal action
How to stop it:
Only a Certificate of Correction filed with NYC DOB will stop the clock and prevent additional penalties.Definition: This is a term used on Notice of Violation to indicate that the violating condition recorded on a previous NOV has not been corrected in time allotted. Amount of time allotted depended on the Class of Violation.
It is best to address NOVs as soon as possible, especially for class 1 violations. The civil penalties for dragging your feet can rise to $25,000 dollars. Basically, only the Certificate of Correction will stop the clock.
