Code: BO9 – DOB Boiler Inspection Report (official form)
Description: This is a DOB form used to report the results of the required annual boiler inspection. 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 a licensed inspector checks your boiler for safety and code compliance during the required yearly inspection. The inspector completes this report, and you (or your managing agent) must make sure it is filed on time in DOB NOW: Safety so you avoid late penalties and violations.
Where You May See It: You may see this form name or number in emails or letters from your property manager, boiler company, or superintendent about scheduling or filing the annual boiler inspection. It also appears in DOB boiler compliance instructions, in DOB NOW: Safety boiler filings, and in notices about missing or late boiler inspection reports.
Why It Matters: If this report is not filed on time, the owner can receive civil penalties for late or missing boiler inspections. Correct and timely filing helps prove your boiler was inspected, keeps your building in compliance, and reduces the risk of heat or hot water problems, insurance issues, or delays in refinancing or selling the property.
