If a property receives more than one Notice of Sidewalk Violation over time — for example, if new defects appear before an earlier one is resolved — DOT treats the most recent notice as controlling, and it supersedes any prior notices on file. This matters for tracking your actual repair deadline: an owner working off an outdated PIR could end up missing flags cited in the newer notice. Always confirm you're repairing against the most current violation before scheduling a dismissal inspection.
