Inspections & Violations

The Department strives to ensure the safe and lawful use of approximately one million buildings and properties in New York City. Our Inspectors enforce the NYC Building Code and NYC Zoning Resolution to ensure the construction industry is protecting the public and property in the progress of work and that all work is being done in a Code compliant manor.

Failure to operate within the guidelines set by the Code and Zoning Resolution could result in violations, monetary penalties, and/or criminal charges.
