Code: AEU Unit (DOB Division)
Description: (Administrative Enforcement Unit) is the DOB division that reviews and processes Certificate of Correction submissions, penalty waivers, and compliance documentation for OATH summonses. This unit handles all post-summons correction review and approval for NYC buildings violations.
Practical Meaning: When you submit a Certificate of Correction to prove you fixed a violation, AEU reviews your submission and either approves it or requests additional documentation. You can contact AEU at (212) 393-2405 or through nyc.gov/dobhelp if you have questions about your summons or correction submission.
Where You May See It: DOB NOW system, Certificate of Correction instructions, OATH summons correction procedures, DOB correspondence about violation corrections, Building Information System (BIS), DOB website contact information.
Why It Matters: AEU's approval is required to officially close most DOB violations, so understanding their review process and documentation requirements prevents delays and rejection of your correction submissions. Missing information or incorrect forms will cause AEU to request resubmission, extending the time your violation remains open and potentially increasing penalties.
