Violation Removal in New York
Navigating building violations in New York City can be overwhelming — especially when you’re faced with red tags, gas shut-offs, or unexpected stop-work orders.
Illegal conversions of cellar spaces into livable or rental units are a common issue. While often done with practical intentions, these conversions can violate the NYC Building Code and trigger serious enforcement actions — particularly when plumbing work has been done without proper permits.
We also assist property owners facing red tags and shut-offs issued by Con Edison, National Grid, and other agencies for unauthorized plumbing or gas work, gas leaks, or unsafe conditions. These situations can be stressful and disruptive, and we’re here to help you navigate the process with clarity and care.
