Beginning March 2016, the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) will issue DOB Violations for Energy Code Infractions that are Class 2 (major) violations, which carry a monetary penalty. Additionally, the DOB may also issue Stop Work Orders (SWO) for Energy Code Infractions and violations. If the cure date has passed, SWOs will not be lifted unless, the violation is paid and an approved certificate of correction has been obtained. Failure to correct violating condition(s) may negatively affect the ability to sell, refinance, and obtain a new Certificate of Occupancy or a Letter of Completion for a property.
For more information, refer to this March 2016 DOB Bulletin.
