Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The department is pursuing owners with expired residential occupancy permits, using reminder emails, fee waivers in some hardship cases, and court action for noncompliance. Saturday inspections may be available, and the department is checking whether properties with expired permits are vacant. Local Law K would make more public records and data available online, but officials said implementation would require clearer language, staff time, and funding; the sponsor planned further discussions with the administration.
