Further to the effort underway at the New York City Department of Buildings to bring more of its work online and reduce in-person interaction, please be advised on June 17, 2020,  the Department will be launching an online portal in DOB NOW: Safety with regard to certain elevator transactions.  Specifically, beginning June 17, Category 1 and Category 5 Inspection violation payments, violation dismissals and penalty waiver requests must be made through the online portal.  Please see the “NYC DOB Service Notice – Elevator Violation Payments” for additional information.
