Property owners, landlords, and general contractors have a legal obligation to abide by all state and municipal building codes. If you have recently gotten in trouble with the law for a building code violation in Suffolk County, Nassau County, Brooklyn, or Queens, our experienced defense attorneys can provide you with the legal counsel you need to protect your best interest both in and out of court.
Building codes were established to protect the people that build, work, visit, or live in buildings by requiring a set standard of code for lighting, ventilation, sanitary facilities, electrical, fire safety, plumbing, energy conservation, building materials, and more. At Young & Young, we defend people against all types of New York building code violations. Some of the most common building code violations include, but are not limited to:
- Environmental control board violations
- Faulty plumbing
- Faulty wiring
- Selling alcohol to a minor
- Failure to properly maintain the building
- Working at/on the building without a permit
- Residential parking violations
- Violating maximum capacity limit
- Violating fire safety code
- Failure to fix or repair broken or hazardous conditions
- Health and sanitary violations
- Failure to maintain exterior building walls
- Failure to install handrails and guardrails
In many instances, the wrong individual is penalized for the violation. At our firm, we take the time to thoroughly investigate your situation to ensure you are not unjustly being charged for the violation. For example, if you have been charged with a building code violation on a construction site, we can determine who is actually at fault for the violation. Was it you? Was it the architect? Was it the general contractor? Was it the construction company? Did an inspector fail to notice the violation? Or was it the manufacturer of the machine or tools you were using?
