Certificate of Correction · Vacate Order Removal
An FDNY violation can shut down your building, block your Certificate of Occupancy, and rack up daily ECB/OATH fines while you wait for a hearing date. We handle FDNY violation removal from the initial retrieval and audit through final dismissal — so you are not walking into the John Street hearing room alone with a folder of paperwork.
Our team works with NYC commercial and residential property owners to resolve every class of FDNY action: ECB/OATH violations that require a certificate of correction, criminal-court 444 tickets, FDNY vacate orders, default judgments that need a motion to vacate, and summonses tied to fire alarm, sprinkler, standpipe, or life-safety deficiencies.
Because we also design, install, inspect, and monitor the underlying fire alarm systems, we can fix the root-cause deficiency the same week we file the certificate of correction — then walk the FDNY inspector through the site to sign off. One contractor, one accountable timeline, no finger-pointing between the fire alarm company and the violation-removal consultant.
We pull every open FDNY violation, 444 ticket, and vacate order tied to your BIN and address. You get a clear index of what is active, what is default, and what is already on a hearing calendar.
For each violation we identify exactly what FDNY requires to clear it — device replacement, wiring correction, monitoring certificate renewal, signage, or paperwork. NICET-certified drawings where needed.
We perform the corrective work, certify it in writing, and assemble the certificate of correction package — photos, test reports, sign-offs, and NICET stamp.
We appear at ECB/OATH on your behalf, enter pleas, present the certificate of correction, negotiate fines, and respond to inspector questions. For 444 tickets, we coordinate criminal-court representation.
For FDNY vacate orders, we coordinate the re-inspection, lift the vacate, and confirm the dismissal in the FDNY system. You get the final clearance documentation on file.
FDNY violation removal is the full process of clearing an open Fire Department violation — retrieving the violation, correcting the underlying deficiency, filing a certificate of correction, and appearing at ECB/OATH or criminal court to get it dismissed. It is more than paperwork; it requires correcting the fire-code issue FDNY cited.
You must correct the underlying violation, document the correction with photos and a sworn statement, and file a certificate of correction with ECB/OATH before your hearing date. For fire alarm, sprinkler, or standpipe violations, the correction usually needs to be certified by a NICET or FDNY-licensed contractor — which we handle in-house.
A 444 ticket is a criminal summons issued by FDNY for serious fire-code violations — it is heard in NYC criminal court, not at ECB/OATH. Ignoring a 444 ticket can produce a warrant. We represent owners in criminal court to admit, negotiate, or move to dismiss, and coordinate the underlying fire-code correction.
A vacate order requires you to correct every cited hazard, file for re-inspection with FDNY, and pass the re-inspection before the vacate is lifted. We handle the corrective work, the re-inspection scheduling, and the on-site walk with the FDNY inspector.
Yes — we run a full violation lookup against your BIN and property address through FDNY, ECB/OATH, and DOB systems and send you a written report. There is no obligation, and it is the cleanest way to see what is open before you buy, sell, refinance, or renew a Certificate of Occupancy.
Costs depend on violation class and complexity. ECB/OATH certificate-of-correction cases typically run from a few hundred dollars per violation for straightforward filings, while 444 tickets, vacate orders, and motion-to-vacate filings are priced per caseload. We provide a fixed-price quote after the initial audit — no open-ended hourly billing.
