What is an FDNY VC19 HVAC violation?

VC19 is commonly issued when required DOB compliance documentation is missing or cannot be produced for HVAC equipment (such as an Equipment Use Permit / Certificate of Compliance).

What is an FDNY VC26 HVAC violation?

VC26 is commonly associated with an unlawful installation or a physical safety issue—such as equipment or ductwork obstructing egress, missing required fire protection components, or installation in a restricted area.

Do you file the FDNY Certificate of Correction (FB-09)?

Yes. Once the condition is corrected and documentation is assembled, we prepare and file the FDNY Certificate of Correction (FB-09) with supporting proof.

Can you attend the OATH hearing?

Yes. We can attend the OATH hearing to present proof of compliance and pursue dismissal or reduction of penalties.

Which violation do you have?

VC19 (missing DOB compliance) is issued when required DOB documents can’t be produced. Typical causes are a missing Equipment Use Permit, no Certificate of Compliance, or equipment documentation that doesn’t match what is installed.

VC26 (unlawful installation) is issued for physical safety violations or obstructions, such as ductwork blocking egress, equipment in an improper location, or missing fire protection components.
