Major buildings must certify correction to any outstanding ECB violations by submitting a Certificate of Correction to the Department’s Administrative Enforcement Unit.
Certificates of Correction
A Certificate of Correction is an affidavit attesting to the lawful correction of conditions cited in an ECB Notice of Violation issued by the Department of Buildings. Any of the following people may complete and submit a Certificate of Correction:
- The person named on the violation
- A partner of the person named in a partnership
- Officer, director or managing agent of the respondent corporation
- Owner, even if not the named respondent
- Managing agent of place of occurrence (with a notarized letter of designation from the owner); or Contractor or other agent (with a notarized letter of designation from the owner)
Certificate of Correction Supporting Documents
The Certificate of Correction must also be accompanied by a sworn statement attesting to how and when the work was completed, and by whom. Additional proof of correction may also be required, such as permits to do the work (if required by Code), photographs showing before and after conditions, invoices for completed work, etc. Certain violations, such as elevators and boilers violations, may require the services of a licensed individual who must submit a sworn statement certifying the correction of items cited on the violation. New owners must attach a copy of the property deed.
