DOB Complaints and Violations

What is a Certificate of Correction?

A Certificate of Correction is a DOB-specific form for correcting all classes of DOB-ECB violations. The technical term for this was previously the AEU-2 form.

As of December 15, 2025, named respondents or owners/managers will have to submit Certificate of Correction requests online via DOB NOW: Safety. You can learn more about the process here, at DOB's website.

Certificates of Correction must be filed with the DOB to prove compliance and close out all DOB-ECB violations. It’s a common misconception that proof or documentation given at the hearing will suffice – it will not. Certificates must be submitted directly to the DOB outside of the hearing in order to show compliance.

Please note that FDNY Certificates of Correction are separate from DOB forms - not only are they different, copy-wise, they must be forwarded to their respective agencies in order to close open violations. Read more about FDNY Certificates of Correction here.
