Building Violation Services
Navigating building violations can be complex and costly. SOCOTEC offers end-to-end building violation services to help you resolve, prevent, and stay compliant with confidence.
In jurisdictions with complex and evolving building codes—like New York City—violations are often unavoidable, even for the most diligent property owners, tenants, or contractors. From minor administrative oversights to unforeseen code interpretations, building citations can arise despite best efforts to maintain compliance, creating costly delays and regulatory challenges if not addressed promptly.

Environmental Control Board Violations
DOB Stop Work Orders
