New York City is home to some of the most complex building regulations in the country, and property owners must navigate a web of compliance requirements to avoid costly penalties. From facade inspection failures to energy benchmarking violations, even a minor oversight can lead to steep fines, operational disruptions, and unhappy tenants.
The best way to stay ahead of violations is through proactive compliance management—and that’s where Prise excels. Our team specializes in identifying, resolving, and preventing building violations so that owners and property managers can focus on running their properties without compliance stress.
Common Types of Building Violations
Understanding the most common violations helps property owners avoid penalties before they happen.
Facade Violations (Local Law 11)
Buildings over six stories must undergo periodic facade inspections to ensure safety. Failed inspections or non-compliance lead to violations, fines, and potential unsafe building status.
Energy & Benchmarking Violations (Local Laws 84 & 87)
Property owners must submit annual energy benchmarking reports and conduct periodic energy audits. Missed deadlines result in automatic fines, with penalties increasing for repeated non-compliance.
Elevator & Boiler Inspection Violations
Elevators and boilers must undergo regular inspections, with reports filed on time. Failure to submit reports or correct defects leads to violations, potential shutdowns, and increased liability.
Unauthorized Construction or Zoning Violations
Any construction or renovation requires proper permits from the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). Work done without permits can trigger violations, stop-work orders, and legal action, stalling projects and increasing costs.
The Cost of Resolving Violations Without Expert Help
Many property owners attempt to handle violations on their own, only to find the process frustrating, time-consuming, and expensive. Without expert guidance, owners often face:
- Increased Fines – Delays in addressing violations result in compounding penalties.
- Administrative Burden – Managing filings, documentation, and agency coordination takes valuable time away from core operations.
- Incomplete Resolutions – Missteps in violation resolution can lead to recurring issues, requiring additional corrective action.
- Insurance Risks – Many insurers factor building violations into premiums, raising costs or even voiding certain policies.
