From the Forum: What to Know Before a DOB Audit?

    by

    A Brownstoner reader has an upcoming walkthrough with a DOB inspector for a two-family home renovation.

    Our project, a 2 family Alt2 renovation, started with a self certification (Directive 14). At that time I was told that there would be a very high chance that we would be audited before sign off and that’s what’s happening next week. Both electrical and plumbing have been signed off, electrical with a physical DOB inspection and plumbing by the plumber himself. My expeditor asked for a final sign off and we got notified of a request for a “PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION COMPLIANCE AUDIT”

    I’ll be doing the walkthrough on my own with the DOB inspector, are there any does or don’ts I should be aware of? What do I need to have with me besides the drawings and amendments? Almost everything is done according to the drawings but there are obviously a few things here and there that are a little different….

    Have you ever been audited by the DOB? Have any advice for the poster? Chime in over in the original Brownstoner Forum post.
