New Façade Violations Portal Launching July 12

The Department of Buildings is launching a new façade violations search portal on Monday, July 12 in DOB NOW: Safety.

The new portal also allows users to submit civil penalty payments or requests to waive civil penalty payments, for Cycle 6 or later, resulting from:

• Failure to File or Late Filing of TR6/FISP Report

• FISP Failure to Correct SWARMP Conditions

• FISP Failure to Correct Unsafe Condition

The last day to submit payments or waiver requests in person, by email, or mail is Thursday, July 8, 2021.

Note: The portal includes only civil penalties related to DOB violations payable to DOB and not OATH/ECB Summons that are paid to OATH.

Need more help?

For step by step guides to submitting your waiver form in the new DOB NOW: Safety portal, read DOB’s Service Notice.

If you need assistance with the facades violations portal, you can submit a query at www.nyc.gov/dobnowhelp.
