Code: AEUHAZ (DOB civil penalty violation label)
Description: (AEU Hazard Civil Penalty For Missing Certificate Of Correction) is the DOB label used when an acceptable Certificate of Correction was not filed for an underlying Class 1 immediately hazardous summons at a construction site. Underlying Class 1 immediately hazardous summons issued at a construction site.
Practical Meaning: If you receive this label, DOB plans to charge a separate civil penalty because the immediately hazardous Class 1 condition was not properly corrected and certified in time. You usually must fix the original hazard, file a complete Certificate of Correction package, and pay the AEUHAZ civil penalty before DOB closes the case.
Where You May See It: On DOB NOW violation and penalty screens, in the DOB NOW Public Portal when you search violations, and in civil penalty notices or statements related to Class 1 immediately hazardous summonses.
Why It Matters: AEUHAZ penalties are in addition to any fines from the original OATH hearing and can reach several thousand dollars, especially for construction‑site Class 1 violations. Unresolved AEUHAZ penalties can delay clearing violations, create ongoing enforcement risk, and complicate refinancing, sales, or due diligence for your building.
