ECB violations are civil penalty summonses that can be issued for things like unsafe work-site conditions, permit non-compliance, or unpermitted sidewalk and curb work, and unlike a standard NOV, they typically carry a monetary fine decided at an OATH hearing. Owners or contractors can contest a summons by requesting a hearing, submitting evidence, or in some cases resolving it by mail before the hearing date. Because ECB violations affect a contractor's or property's compliance history, it's worth resolving them promptly rather than letting a default judgment be entered.
