VIOLATION REMOVAL
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL BOARD (ECB) VIOLATION An ECB violation is a notice that a property does not comply with a provision of the NYC Building Code and/or NYC Zoning Resolution. ECB violations are resolved at the Environmental Control Board, an administrative law court, where a civil penalty may be imposed although the violations are entered against the property in the Department of Buildings Information System (BIS).
PROPERTY RECORD RESEARCH
Building Brothers is able to provide detailed property research on all commercial and residential properties in New York City. We can provide information such as, Block & Lot records, existing legal plans, violation copies, most recent sales and sales history, parcel number, changes of title on a property, existing and past liens, square footage of property, year the property was built, violations, permits, zoning as well as any historical records of repairs, deed records, remodeling and any structural alterations.
ATERATION PERMITS
Any work required to be done on a property usually requires work permits from the department of buildings. If the scope of the project requires plans and permits then it is necessary to hire a Professional Engineer (PE) or a registered architect (RA)
CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY
The key document used to certify the legal use and occupancy of a building is called the “Certificate of Occupancy” (C of O). The document is issued by the Department of Buildings and describes how a building may be occupied, for example, a two-family home, a parking lot, a 40-unit multiple dwelling, or a store. A C of O is often required when selling a home or refinancing a mortgage.
