For property owners, managers, nonprofits, and multi-property organizations dealing with NYC DOB violations, ECB summons, OATH hearings, Stop Work Orders, and building compliance issues.
The problem: Fragmented city systems across DOB, ECB, HPD, and OATH make it easy to miss critical deadlines. Fines stack up. Violations linger.
The solution: DOBGuard monitors citywide enforcement intelligence, alerts you within 1 hour of new violations, and provides optional resolution coordination—connecting you with licensed expeditors, engineers, and attorneys when needed.

Clear transparency for procurement teams, property managers, and legal departments:
Our done-with-you process for resolving NYC DOB violations, ECB summons, and OATH hearings:
Provide property addresses, BINs, or violation notices. We pull current data from DOB, ECB, HPD, and OATH systems to assess all open issues.
Flag time-sensitive matters: upcoming OATH hearings, ECB deadline dates, Stop Work Orders, and violations with escalating penalties. Create action timeline.
Provide checklist of required documents: photos, prior permits, inspection reports, correction receipts, correspondence. Organize evidence for filings or hearings.
Connect you with licensed architects, engineers, expeditors, or attorneys as needed for Certificates of Correction, permit filings, or OATH representation. We coordinate scope and timelines.
Licensed professionals handle filings, sign-offs, and representation. We track submission status, follow up with agencies, and monitor for approvals or objections.
View progress updates, document uploads, hearing outcomes, and resolution milestones in your dashboard. Real-time sync with city systems.
Confirm violation dismissal, certification of correction filed, or ECB compliance achieved. Export audit trail documentation for your records or lenders.
Important Legal Disclaimer:
NYC Department of Buildings violations for building code issues, structural safety, work without permit, and zoning non-compliance. Civil penalties vary by violation class.
Environmental Control Board summons and Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings appearances for NYC building violations. Timely response critical to avoid default judgments.
Urgent remediation coordination for NYC Stop Work Orders (SWO) halting construction or building operations. Fast response required to minimize project delays and penalties.

Help navigating DOB NOW filing issues, permit objections, and administrative holds blocking approvals.
Managing 10, 50, or 200+ buildings across NYC? Manual violation tracking doesn't scale. Monitor all addresses in one dashboard, catch violations early, and coordinate resolution coordination for urgent matters.
Mission-driven organizations with limited compliance capacity. Proactive monitoring prevents fines that strain budgets. Resolution coordination keeps housing online and compliant.
Buildings in high-enforcement neighborhoods, older properties with ongoing maintenance needs, or assets with complex zoning or permit histories. Stay ahead of DOB, HPD, and ECB activity.
Track Stop Work Orders, permit issues, and DOB complaints across active construction sites. Fast alerts minimize downtime and project delays.

Common questions about resolving NYC DOB violations, ECB violations, and OATH hearings
No. DOBGuard is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation. We coordinate the resolution workflow and can connect you with licensed attorneys or professionals for representation at OATH hearings when needed. We manage tracking, deadlines, and documentation coordination.
No. We do not provide legal advice. We offer violation monitoring, alert services, and resolution coordination coordination. For legal advice or representation, we work with licensed professionals who can advise on your specific case.
ECB (Environmental Control Board) issues summonses for building violations with civil penalties. Hearings are held at OATH (Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings) where you can contest violations, present evidence, request reduced fines, or negotiate stipulations. Missing hearings results in default judgments and maximum fines. We help track hearing dates, coordinate preparation, and connect you with representation if needed.
Most clients begin within 1-2 business days after initial consultation. We conduct a quick property review, prioritize urgent items based on deadlines, and start coordinating next steps immediately. For active hearings or Stop Work Orders, we expedite intake.
We specialize in multi-property portfolios. Our monitoring platform tracks violations across unlimited addresses, and our resolution coordination scales for property managers, nonprofits, and owners with 5+ buildings. Single-property owners can also use our services.
All five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island. Our monitoring covers citywide datasets including DOB, ECB, HPD, OATH, FDNY, and environmental agencies across NYC.
Yes. Stop Work Order resolution is urgent and requires correcting the underlying violation, filing permits if needed, scheduling DOB inspections, and obtaining approval to lift the order. We coordinate this workflow, track status, and work with expeditors or licensed professionals to resolve quickly.
Property address(es), current violation list or BIN number, any hearing notices or ECB summonses, deadlines or scheduled dates, and access to relevant property documents (permits, certificates, prior filings). We can pull most violation data directly from city systems if you provide the address.
Monitoring is subscription-based (see pricing page). Resolution support is quoted based on number of properties, violation types and counts, urgency, and whether licensed representation or expediting is required. We offer per-case coordination fees or monthly retainers for multi-property clients. Request a resolution review for a custom quote.
Missed ECB hearing dates result in default judgments with maximum fines. Missed DOB correction deadlines increase penalties and may trigger additional enforcement. Our monitoring service alerts you early to prevent missed deadlines. If you've already missed a deadline, we can help coordinate late responses or request rehearings where possible.
Yes, depending on the case. Common outcomes include dismissal (if violation corrected before hearing or improperly issued), reduced fines through stipulation, or certification of correction. Appearing with evidence and/or representation improves outcomes. We coordinate hearing preparation and connect you with professionals experienced in OATH defense.
Yes. We monitor DOB complaints filed against your properties and track inspection schedules. Early awareness allows you to prepare documentation, address issues proactively, and coordinate responses before violations are issued. We help organize evidence and track complaint resolution status.
