Q: I just got a provision of law 28-105.1 complaint requesting for corrective action. Can I ignore it if I’m the owner?
I just got a provision of law 28-105.1 complaint requesting for corrective action. Due to alter my house without a permit. Can I ignore this request? Like I’m living it the house and I own the house would there be any future issues? The change was enclosing my front porch with walls for another room. And this is the first time I got a request.
A:
Eventually, DOB will issue another violation for failure to comply and enter a default money judgment because you ignored the summons and did not restore the porch to its original condition, obtain a permit, or amend the certificate of occupancy.

One day, when you sell the house, the City will have a lien on the property, and the purchaser will coerce you to remove the violations.
