On October 28, 2024, the DOB issued a service notice regarding Failure to File the 2023 Parking Structure Inspection Report Violations to be issued. Beginning November 2024, the Department will issue violations for Failure to File an Initial Parking Structure Report for the cycle ending December 31, 2023 (Subcycle 1A).
Key Details Regarding the Violations:
Violation Type: These are DOB (non-OATH) violations, each carrying a penalty of $5,000/year.
Annual Penalties: Currently it is unclear whether the DOB will issue additional penalties each year the report remains unfiled. We will provide updates as more information becomes available.
Separate from Late Fees: These violations are distinct from any monthly late fess that may have been assessed when filing.
Subcycles 1B and 1C Violations: These violations are unrelated to the failure to file initial observations for Subcycles 1B and 1C. Although violations for these infractions have been announced, our team has not yet independently observed them. A separate Service Notice may be issued for these in the future.
*Legislation has been passed, increasing inspection frequency from every 6 years to every 4 years, effective at the end of Subcycle 1C in 2027*
If you require assistance, RPO can refer a licensed professional, provide guidance, and resolve any violations that may arise.
