URGENT : Need help - NYC DOB just came back and gave me a summons and fines

The NYC DOB came back and gave me a summons, and violations for things that are purely untrue - we have as sprinkler system, fire alarms, and egress ways.

Why I am reading stories like this everywhere, where these violations are not even based on truths?  They did not even enter any apartment to check that these were true They just happned talked to a guest who was leaving the house when they were there, and confirmed that he was there for Airbnb.

 

I need urgent advice on how to fight this.  I have taken off my listing in Airbnb, cancelled all bookings...what can I do in the meantime?

Thank you,

Sonali

Sue the guest. They have damaged you financially and need to compensate you for thier recklessness.

As for your city's process, you'll need to fight them. Time-consuming, expensive and annoying. First do what they want, the get a professional who can help you.

Sorry
