Correcting a Violation requires Legalization to obtain the right permits, as well as the signature of an inspector in order to complete a correction. It’s also quite possible that you will have to pay a penalty while the Violations are being corrected. In cases where there are signs of construction without permits, you will have to pay both Civil Penalties and Violation fees. Depending on what the violations are, you will need an expeditor and an engineer or an architect to correct and obtain a certificate of occupancy. Call Town of Hempstead Expeditors to legalize your violation.
The good news that what you need to know about correcting a Violation is that you don’t have to do it alone. There are resources out there that can help you navigate through all the paperwork and all the fines and fees that come with Violations concerning building codes. With the right resources and a little bit of work, it won’t be too much of a hassle.
Concerning those right resources, Town Of Hempstead Expeditors can help you. We thoroughly review your Violation to make sure there are no errors in the violation itself (If there are errors we might even be able to get the Violations totally removed).
We want to give you a warning about taking your Violations seriously. If you have received a Violation telling you to come to a hearing and you or your representative don’t show up to the hearing, you will be in a Violation default status. If that happens, you will get an order that states that since you didn’t show up, you must now pay DOUBLE the amount for your fine.
In this situation, you can ask for another hearing. To do this you have to fill out the proper form that you can get from the Violation website or in person at their offices. You have to do this within 45 days from the date you missed the Violation hearing.
At the new hearing, you will have to explain why you didn’t show up the first time. If you get a Violation default order and don’t ask for another hearing, then you have to pay the fines. Therefore, this is not a good practice and you must answer the default order. Even if it is more than 45 days after the original hearing date, it is sometimes possible to get a new hearing and avoid a late penalty, but you don’t know until you try.
