NYC Violation Removal Services
BVS investigates, strategizes, and resolves DOB, ECB, FDNY, and HPD violations — eliminating fines and restoring full compliance so you can focus on managing your property.
What Is Violation Removal?
When a New York City agency issues a violation against your property, it can trigger fines, legal liability, and even restrictions on your ability to sell or refinance. Violation removal is the process of investigating the underlying issue, correcting the condition, and clearing the violation from official records. Whether you need to remove a DOB violation, resolve an ECB violation, or clear a building violation from HPD or FDNY, BVS has the expertise to get it done quickly and cost-effectively.
Common Violations We Handle
DOB Violations
Work without permits, unsafe structural conditions, illegal conversions, and failure to maintain required safety systems. We review, correct, file paperwork, and schedule re-inspections to close DOB violations.
Learn More →ECB Violations
Environmental Control Board violations carry monetary penalties that compound over time. BVS prepares evidence packages, represents your interests at hearings, and works to dismiss ECB violations or minimize fines.
Learn More →FDNY Violations
Sprinkler deficiencies, blocked egress, missing fire safety plans, and non-compliant alarm systems. We coordinate with licensed fire protection contractors to correct conditions and obtain sign-offs.
Learn More →HPD Violations
Lead paint, lack of heat and hot water, pest infestations, and structural deficiencies. BVS manages the repair process, schedules HPD re-inspections, and ensures violations are dismissed.

Stop Work Orders (SWO) & Vacate Orders
When DOB issues a Stop Work Order or Vacate Order, BVS acts immediately — investigating the cause, coordinating corrective action, and filing for reinstatement so construction can resume or occupants can return.
Work Without Permit Resolution
Unauthorized work can trigger Class 1 violations and significant fines. BVS files after-the-fact applications, prepares compliance plans, and works with DOB to legalize the work and close the violation.
Civil Penalty & L2 Waivers
We negotiate penalty reductions and prepare L2 waiver requests for violations where corrective action has been taken, helping property owners avoid excessive fines.
Correction Affidavits
BVS prepares and files correction affidavits (Certificates of Correction) to certify that violating conditions have been cured — a critical step in officially closing violations.
Code Compliance Plan Reviews
We review your property's current conditions against applicable building codes to identify and resolve compliance gaps before they become violations.
