Code: WWP (Work‑without‑permit label)
Description: WWP is treated here as the general “work without permit” acronym linking to the main DOB violation‑correction guide, not as a single DOB system code; specific codes such as B101 and VWH should keep their own entries and cross‑link to WWP. Confirm that “Permit” and “Stop Work Order” entries list WWP in their Related Terms if helpful.
Practical Meaning: This is the common shorthand used to describe the underlying violation: any construction, alteration, demolition, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or similar work done without the required DOB permit. If you see WWP described in a notice or guide, it means DOB treats your situation as work done without the required permit, and you will usually need to legalize the work or undo it and pay any civil penalties before your violation can be fully cleared. You should check which exact code applies (for example B101 or VWH) and then follow the correction steps in the guide or with a qualified professional.
Where You May See It: DOB notice, OATH summons description, DOB violation guide for homeowners, contractor proposals, title report questions about work without permit, IQarius violation‑correction guide.
Why It Matters: WWP‑type violations can lead to large civil penalties, extra work to legalize or remove unpermitted construction, delays in selling or refinancing, and added risk if the work was unsafe or not inspected. Clearing the underlying work‑without‑permit issue is often required before a Certificate of Correction will be approved or before your building record looks “clean” to lenders and buyers.
