Classifications & outcomes
The three results of a LL126 review.
Passed QPSI inspection, report filed, no required repairs.
Safe with Repairs and/or Engineering Monitoring. Active monitoring and repair schedule required.
Inspector identified dangerous conditions. Immediate action required; vacate or occupancy limits possible.
The cost of missing
LL126 penalties compound fast.
LL126 enforcement is largely administrative — DOB runs compliance sweeps based on filing status, not complaint volume. Once you're flagged, penalties apply until the underlying filing or condition is resolved.
Missed filing
$1,000 per month up to $5,000/year for failure to inspect + escalating DOB penalties
Compliance failure
Possible partial vacate order; shoring requirements; traffic/occupancy restrictions
Deadline pattern: Rolling by community district; first cycle 2022–2027
What we monitor
How ViolationWatch tracks Local Law 126 for every building in your portfolio.
01
Auto-mapping per BIN
We resolve every building you add to its BIN, BBL, block, and lot — and check whether LL126 applies automatically.
02
Deadline calendar
6-year cycle, staggered by community district is computed and calendared per building. Visible in the dashboard; reminders fire at 60, 30, and 7 days.
03
Filing status
We surface any existing LL126 filings on record, so you know before you start whether the building is current, due, or already in arrears.
04
Routing by role
LL126 reminders go to whoever owns compliance filings at your portfolio — property manager, asset manager, legal counsel, or the super.
05
Related violations
LL126 non-compliance commonly generates downstream DOB violations. When one appears, we correlate it to the underlying law automatically.
