Code: PER11 (DOB review request form)
Description: (PER11 Appointment Request Form) is a DOB form used to request an appointment, submit documents, or ask DOB to review certain civil penalty issues. For some work-without-permit cases, it may be used to request the civil penalty amount.
Practical Meaning: A homeowner or licensed professional may use this form when DOB requires staff review before a civil penalty can be paid or a filing can continue. For unpermitted electrical work, DOB directs applicants to submit PER11 information to the borough plan-examination office so staff can calculate the electrical civil penalty.
Where You May See It: You may see PER11 in emails from a licensed electrician, architect, engineer, or expediter; in DOB guidance; or during follow-up on a BIS or DOB NOW job involving work without a permit.
Why It Matters: A pending civil penalty can delay legalization filings and permit issuance. PER11 does not itself issue a permit, remove a violation, or pay a penalty; it can be part of the process for getting DOB’s review or penalty assessment.
