Steps to Correct an OATH Summons

All violating condition(s) must be corrected and certified as corrected with the NYC Department of Buildings. To certify correction, you must use an eFiling account to log into DOB NOW at www.nyc.gov/dobnow and select the BIS portal.

From the DOB NOW BIS portal, select +Certificate of Correction Review Request and enter the required fields including the Summons number. Select Save and then in the Documents section, upload completed applicable AEU2, AEU3321 or AEU20 forms and any other required documents.

An email notification will be sent to the applicant with the status of the review. If the request is disapproved, a new request must be submitted.
