ECB / OATH Hearings Division
— The 30-second answer
An ECB ticket is a Notice of Violation issued by a NYC agency — DOB, FDNY, DEP, or Sanitation — that carries a fine and a hearing at OATH. To find every ticket on a property, search the address below: open NOVs, hearing dates, default judgments, and balances appear in one view.
— Every way to find a ticket
Three tools do this job. Pick the right one.
01
OATH Ticket Finder (nyc.gov)
The city's official finder. Searches one ticket number at a time — you need the number from the paper NOV.
Can't search by address
02
NYC CityPay
The official payment portal. Right tool once you already know the ticket number and just want to pay.
Payment only, no discovery
03
This ticket finder
Searches by address, not ticket number — and returns every ECB/OATH ticket on the property at once, cross-referenced with hearing status.
NYC properties only

— ECB questions, answered
What New Yorkers ask about ECB & OATH tickets.
Are ECB and OATH tickets the same thing?
Yes. The Environmental Control Board was absorbed into OATH (Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings), so an "ECB ticket" and an "OATH summons" are the same document — a Notice of Violation with a fine and a hearing date. Older tickets say ECB; newer ones say OATH.
How do I find my ECB ticket number?
The ticket number is printed at the top of the paper Notice of Violation. If you never received or lost the paper, search your address in the finder above — every ticket tied to the property appears with its number, so you don't need the paper at all.
How do I pay an ECB ticket?
Pay online through NYC CityPay, by mail, or in person at an OATH business center. Before paying, check whether the ticket is eligible for a hearing or a cure — a dismissed ticket costs nothing, and a stipulation can cut the penalty.
What happens if I miss an OATH hearing?
OATH enters a default judgment for the maximum penalty. You then have 60 days to file a motion to vacate the default and get a new hearing. After that window, the judgment stands and can become a lien against the property.
Do ECB violations expire?
No. An ECB violation stays on the property record until it is resolved — dismissed at a hearing, cured, or paid. Unpaid judgments accrue interest and block permits, refinancing, and sales.
