Certificate of Correction (Form AEU2)
A Certificate of Correction in NYC is a document that a homeowner must file to officially prove that a violation cited by a city agency (such as the Department of Buildings, Housing Preservation and Development, Fire Department, or environmental regulations) has been properly corrected. After a notice of violation is issued—for issues like building code, fire, housing, or permit violations—the homeowner must take steps to resolve the problem, gather proof (photos, contractor documents, permits, and professional sign-offs if needed), and then submit a Certificate of Correction through the city’s online system.
For homeowners, this means:
- Fixing the cited issue according to the violation notice.
- Collecting all required documentation showing the work is complete and compliant.
- Submitting specific forms (like the AEU2) and evidence online to the relevant agency.
- If the correction is accepted, penalties can be reduced or dismissed; failure to complete the process can lead to hefty daily fines and further enforcement actions.
Filing a Certificate of Correction is essential for legal compliance, avoiding ongoing penalties, and ensuring that the property does not accumulate new violations or enforcement actions.
