DOB Violation Removal and Legalization in Brooklyn
A DOB or ECB violation can hold up a sale, a refinance or a renovation. Many violations need a licensed architect to document what was built, file the right application with the NYC Department of Buildings and follow it through to sign off.
I am Eran Birnbaum, AIA, a New York licensed architect with more than 20 years of experience. I work directly with homeowners and property owners in Brooklyn and across all five boroughs to correct and remove building violations and legalize existing conditions.
How I help
- Review the violation, the property records and the existing conditions
- Survey and draw what is built today
- Check zoning and building code to confirm what can be legalized and what has to change
- Prepare and file the DOB application and coordinate required special and progress inspections
- Follow the filing through approval and sign off so the violation can be resolved
Common situations
- Work done without a permit, such as a finished basement, an attic room or a converted garage
- Alterations that do not match the approved plans
- Violations found during a sale, refinance or insurance review
