What is the ECB?
The Environmental Control Board (ECB) is an administrative court called a tribunal, which falls under the NYC Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH). This establishment hosts hearings for tickets given out by different City agencies, such as the Department of Buildings or Department of Sanitation.
What is a ECB Violation in New York?
A DOB-ECB violation is an infraction issued by a DOB inspector during an Environmental Control Board hearing. If the respondent does not take care of the violations, they will be fined. The named respondent on the property where the infraction occurred will be associated with this case and given a description of what needs to change and a hearing date and class designation. There may also be possible cure dates stated to avoid being fined.
Class 1 (Immediately Hazardous), Class 2 (Hazardous), and Class 3 (Minor) are the three classifications for DOB-ECB violations.
What can I do if I get a ticket?
You can pay the fine online , by mail, or contest the ticket before the hearing date.
What you need to know
- The ECB differs from the organizations that issue Notices of Violation (or tickets).
- The ECB is the independent administration court that handles disputes for those who received tickets.
- The Department of Planning & Development, the NYPD, and many other city departments issue quality-of-life citations. For hearings, they submit them to the ECB.
- If you violate a law, the judge may order you to take corrective measures and pay a fine.
- The ECB maintains a list of fines, which are determined by law. ECB judges are unable to alter or waive fines. If a court finds that you have committed an infraction, the penalty for that violation must be imposed.
