Code: BO13 (official form)
Description: Boiler Inspection Defect Report and Affirmation of Correction Form. This is a DOB form used to confirm that boiler defects found during an annual boiler inspection have been corrected. It must be filed with the Department of Buildings within a set time after the inspection.
Practical Meaning: For a NYC homeowner, this form is used after an inspector finds problems with your boiler during the required annual inspection. A qualified boiler inspector completes this form to state that the defects were corrected, and you (or your managing agent) must make sure it is filed on time so you avoid extra penalties.
Where You May See It: You may see this form mentioned in letters or emails from your property manager, superintendent, or managing agent after a boiler inspection. It can also appear in DOB boiler records, in instructions from your boiler service company, or in notices about missing boiler inspection paperwork.
Why It Matters: If this form is not filed on time after defects are found, the owner can receive DOB violations and civil penalties. Proper filing helps prove your boiler is safe, keeps your building in compliance, and avoids problems with heat, hot water service, insurance, refinancing, or a future sale.
